Purpose
Fixes crash in Cirq backend when executing 0-qubit circuits with measurements.
Related Issues
closes #608
Changes Made
execute_circuit()to handle empty circuits before adding measurements[{0: shots}]for 0-qubit casecirq.measure()is called on empty qubit listTechnical Details
The issue occurred at line 106 where
circuit.append(cirq.measure(*circuit.all_qubits(), key="result"))crashes on empty circuits becausecircuit.all_qubits()returns an empty list.This fix aligns with existing behavior in the main
QuMatclass (lines 92-97 inqumat.py) which already handles 0-qubit circuits. Moving this logic to the backend makes it self-contained and robust.Breaking Changes
None. This is a bug fix that maintains existing behavior.
