* The qubit values are printed as their corresponding integer, rather
than the raw qubit values. The internal storage format of the qubit
values in the same as ``Qubit``.
Parameters
==========
values : int, tuple
If a single argument, the integer we want to represent in the qubit
values. This integer will be represented using the fewest possible
number of qubits.
If a pair of integers and the second value is more than one, the first
integer gives the integer to represent in binary form and the second
integer gives the number of qubits to use.
List of zeros and ones is also accepted to generate qubit by bit pattern.
nqubits : int
The integer that represents the number of qubits.
This number should be passed with keyword ``nqubits=N``.
You can use this in order to avoid ambiguity of Qubit-style tuple of bits.
Please see the example below for more details.
Examples
========
Create a qubit for the integer 5:
>>> from sympy.physics.quantum.qubit import IntQubit
>>> from sympy.physics.quantum.qubit import Qubit
>>> q = IntQubit(5)
>>> q
|5>
We can also create an ``IntQubit`` by passing a ``Qubit`` instance.
>>> q = IntQubit(Qubit('101'))
>>> q
|5>
>>> q.as_int()
5
>>> q.nqubits
3
>>> q.qubit_values
(1, 0, 1)
We can go back to the regular qubit form.
>>> Qubit(q)
|101>
Please note that ``IntQubit`` also accepts a ``Qubit``-style list of bits.
So, the code below yields qubits 3, not a single bit ``1``.
>>> IntQubit(1, 1)
|3>
To avoid ambiguity, use ``nqubits`` parameter.
Use of this keyword is recommended especially when you provide the values by variables.
>>> IntQubit(1, nqubits=1)
|1>
>>> a = 1
