+## Depth, Width, and QubitCount
+
+Reported Depth and Width estimates are compatible with each other.
+(Previously both numbers were achievable, but different circuits would be required for Depth and for Width.)
+Currently both metrics in this pair can be achieved by the same circuit at the same time.
+
+The following metrics are reported:
+
+__Depth:__
+For the root operation - time it takes to execute it assuming specific gate times.
+For operations called or subsequent operations - time difference between latest qubit availability time at the beginning and the end of the operation.
+
+__Width:__
+For the root operation - number of qubits actually used to execute it (and operation it calls).
+For operations called or subsequent operations - how many more qubits were used in addition to the qubits already used at the beginning of the operation.
+
+Please note, that reused qubits do not contribute to this number.
+I.e. if a few qubits have been released before operation A starts, and all qubit demanded by this operation A (and operations called from A) were satisfied by reusing previously release qubits, the Width of operation A is reported as 0. Successfully borrowed qubits do not contribute to the Width either.
+
+__QubitCount:__
+For the root operation - minimum number of qubits that would be sufficient to execute this operation (and operations called from it).
+For operations called or subsequent operations - minimum number of qubits that would be sufficient to execute this operation separately. This number doesn't include input qubits. It does include borrowed qubits.
+
+Two modes of operation are supported. Mode is selected by setting QCTraceSimulatorConfiguration.OptimizeDepth.
+
+__OptimizeDepth=true:__
+QubitManager is discouraged from qubit reuse and allocates new qubit every time it is asked for a qubit. For the root operation __Depth__ becomes the minimum depth (lower bound). Compatible __Width__ is reported for this depth (both can be achieved at the same time). Note, that this width will likely be not optimal given this depth. __QubitCount__ may be lower than Width for the root operation because it assumes reuse.
+
+__OptimizeDepth=false:__
+QubitManager is encouraged to reuse qubits and will reuse released qubits before allocating new ones. For the root operation __Width__ becomes the minimal width (lower bound). Compatible __Depth__ is reported on which it can be achieved. __QubitCount__ will be the same as __Width__ for the root operation assuming no borrowing.
