+You can compress a Clifford circuit that prepares a given stabilizer state
+by replacing it with an optimized hardware-tailored circuit that prepares the same stabilizer state. 
 
 The resulting circuit will only contain two-qubit gates between 
 connected qubits (with respect to the given connectivity), so no
