-    "Aside from choosing a layout and routing configuration, translating the instructions of a quantum circuit into the native basis gates of a backend is one of the most complex tasks that the transpiler must take on.  This type of task is executed in several stages of the transpiler and is primarily powered by the [`UnitarySynthesis`](../api/qiskit/qiskit.transpiler.passes.UnitarySynthesis) pass."
