+# Building Quantum Circuits
+
+This guide covers circuit construction in Cirq, including qubits, gates, operations, and circuit patterns.
+
+## Basic Circuit Construction
+
+### Creating Circuits
+
+```python
+import cirq
+
+# Create a circuit
+circuit = cirq.Circuit()
+
+# Create qubits
+q0 = cirq.GridQubit(0, 0)
+q1 = cirq.GridQubit(0, 1)
+q2 = cirq.LineQubit(0)
+
+# Add gates to circuit
+circuit.append([
+    cirq.H(q0),
+    cirq.CNOT(q0, q1),
+    cirq.measure(q0, q1, key='result')
+])
+```
+
+### Qubit Types
+
+**GridQubit**: 2D grid topology for hardware-like layouts
+```python
+qubits = cirq.GridQubit.square(2)  # 2x2 grid
+qubit = cirq.GridQubit(row=0, col=1)
+```
+
+**LineQubit**: 1D linear topology
+```python
+qubits = cirq.LineQubit.range(5)  # 5 qubits in a line
+qubit = cirq.LineQubit(3)
+```
+
+**NamedQubit**: Custom-named qubits
+```python
+qubit = cirq.NamedQubit('my_qubit')
+```
+
+## Common Gates and Operations
+
+### Single-Qubit Gates
+
+```python
+# Pauli gates
+cirq.X(qubit)  # NOT gate
+cirq.Y(qubit)
+cirq.Z(qubit)
+
+# Hadamard
+cirq.H(qubit)
+
+# Rotation gates
+cirq.rx(angle)(qubit)  # Rotation around X-axis
+cirq.ry(angle)(qubit)  # Rotation around Y-axis
+cirq.rz(angle)(qubit)  # Rotation around Z-axis
+
+# Phase gates
+cirq.S(qubit)  # √Z gate
+cirq.T(qubit)  # ⁴√Z gate
+```
+
+### Two-Qubit Gates
+
+```python
+# CNOT (Controlled-NOT)
+cirq.CNOT(control, target)
+cirq.CX(control, target)  # Alias
+
+# CZ (Controlled-Z)
+cirq.CZ(q0, q1)
+
+# SWAP
+cirq.SWAP(q0, q1)
+
+# iSWAP
+cirq.ISWAP(q0, q1)
+
+# Controlled rotations
+cirq.CZPowGate(exponent=0.5)(q0, q1)
+```
+
+### Measurement Operations
+
+```python
+# Measure single qubit
+cirq.measure(qubit, key='m')
+
+# Measure multiple qubits
+cirq.measure(q0, q1, q2, key='result')
+
+# Measure all qubits in circuit
+circuit.append(cirq.measure(*qubits, key='final'))
+```
+
+## Advanced Circuit Construction
+
+### Parameterized Gates
+
+```python
+import sympy
+
+# Create symbolic parameters
+theta = sympy.Symbol('theta')
+phi = sympy.Symbol('phi')
+
+# Use in gates
+circuit = cirq.Circuit(
+    cirq.rx(theta)(q0),
+    cirq.ry(phi)(q1),
+    cirq.CNOT(q0, q1)
+)
+
+# Resolve parameters later
+resolved = cirq.resolve_parameters(circuit, {'theta': 0.5, 'phi': 1.2})
+```
+
+### Custom Gates via Unitaries
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+
+# Define unitary matrix
+unitary = np.array([
+    [1, 0, 0, 0],
+    [0, 1, 0, 0],
+    [0, 0, 0, 1],
+    [0, 0, 1, 0]
+]) / np.sqrt(2)
+
+# Create gate from unitary
+gate = cirq.MatrixGate(unitary)
+operation = gate(q0, q1)
+```
+
+### Gate Decomposition
+
+```python
+# Define custom gate with decomposition
+class MyGate(cirq.Gate):
+    def _num_qubits_(self):
+        return 1
+
+    def _decompose_(self, qubits):
+        q = qubits[0]
+        return [cirq.H(q), cirq.T(q), cirq.H(q)]
+
+    def _circuit_diagram_info_(self, args):
+        return 'MyGate'
+
+# Use the custom gate
+my_gate = MyGate()
+circuit.append(my_gate(q0))
+```
+
+## Circuit Organization
+
+### Moments
+
+Circuits are organized into moments (parallel operations):
+
+```python
+# Explicit moment construction
+circuit = cirq.Circuit(
+    cirq.Moment([cirq.H(q0), cirq.H(q1)]),
+    cirq.Moment([cirq.CNOT(q0, q1)]),
+    cirq.Moment([cirq.measure(q0, key='m0'), cirq.measure(q1, key='m1')])
+)
+
+# Access moments
+for i, moment in enumerate(circuit):
+    print(f"Moment {i}: {moment}")
+```
+
+### Circuit Operations
+
+```python
+# Concatenate circuits
+circuit3 = circuit1 + circuit2
+
+# Insert operations
+circuit.insert(index, operation)
+
+# Append with strategy
+circuit.append(operations, strategy=cirq.InsertStrategy.NEW_THEN_INLINE)
+```
+
+## Circuit Patterns
+
+### Bell State Preparation
+
+```python
+def bell_state_circuit():
+    q0, q1 = cirq.LineQubit.range(2)
+    return cirq.Circuit(
+        cirq.H(q0),
+        cirq.CNOT(q0, q1)
+    )
+```
+
+### GHZ State
+
+```python
+def ghz_circuit(qubits):
+    circuit = cirq.Circuit()
+    circuit.append(cirq.H(qubits[0]))
+    for i in range(len(qubits) - 1):
+        circuit.append(cirq.CNOT(qubits[i], qubits[i+1]))
+    return circuit
+```
+
+### Quantum Fourier Transform
+
+```python
+def qft_circuit(qubits):
+    circuit = cirq.Circuit()
+    for i, q in enumerate(qubits):
+        circuit.append(cirq.H(q))
+        for j in range(i + 1, len(qubits)):
+            circuit.append(cirq.CZPowGate(exponent=1/2**(j-i))(qubits[j], q))
+
+    # Reverse qubit order
+    for i in range(len(qubits) // 2):
+        circuit.append(cirq.SWAP(qubits[i], qubits[len(qubits) - i - 1]))
+
+    return circuit
+```
+
+## Circuit Import/Export
+
+### OpenQASM
+
+```python
+# Export to QASM
+qasm_str = circuit.to_qasm()
+
+# Import from QASM
+from cirq.contrib.qasm_import import circuit_from_qasm
+circuit = circuit_from_qasm(qasm_str)
+```
+
+### Circuit JSON
+
+```python
+import json
+
+# Serialize
+json_str = cirq.to_json(circuit)
+
+# Deserialize
+circuit = cirq.read_json(json_text=json_str)
+```
+
+## Working with Qudits
+
+Qudits are higher-dimensional quantum systems (qutrits, ququarts, etc.):
+
+```python
+# Create qutrit (3-level system)
+qutrit = cirq.LineQid(0, dimension=3)
+
+# Custom qutrit gate
+class QutritXGate(cirq.Gate):
+    def _qid_shape_(self):
+        return (3,)
+
+    def _unitary_(self):
+        return np.array([
+            [0, 0, 1],
+            [1, 0, 0],
+            [0, 1, 0]
+        ])
+
+gate = QutritXGate()
+circuit = cirq.Circuit(gate(qutrit))
+```
+
+## Observables
+
+Create observables from Pauli operators:
+
+```python
+# Single Pauli observable
+obs = cirq.Z(q0)
+
+# Pauli string
+obs = cirq.X(q0) * cirq.Y(q1) * cirq.Z(q2)
+
+# Linear combination
+from cirq import PauliSum
+obs = 0.5 * cirq.X(q0) + 0.3 * cirq.Z(q1)
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use appropriate qubit types**: GridQubit for hardware-like topologies, LineQubit for 1D problems
+2. **Keep circuits modular**: Build reusable circuit functions
+3. **Use symbolic parameters**: For parameter sweeps and optimization
+4. **Label measurements clearly**: Use descriptive keys for measurement results
+5. **Document custom gates**: Include circuit diagram information for visualization
