Summary
The
__eq__
method of the dagcircuit class was previously deep copyingthe retworkx PyDAG objects for both self and other to force a reindexing
of the node indices in the graphs to acvoid a bug in retworkx (see
Qiskit/rustworkx#27 for more details). In the next retworkx a workaround
for that bug was introduced which removes the need for doing the deepcopy
calls. This commit does that and removes the deep copies which should
improve the performance of run
__eq__
on dagcircuit objects.Details and comments
