Description

Currently we hardcode the set of serializable gates in a global variable here. It will be useful to various teams to allow the user to set this serializer to correspond with custom backends.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore serializer.py to understand how gates are serialized. Design a solution to allow users to extend the serializer with custom logic.
