CZGate
class CZGate(label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Controlled-Z gate.
This is a Clifford and symmetric gate.
Circuit symbol:
q_0: ─■─
│
q_1: ─■─Matrix representation:
In the computational basis, this gate flips the phase of the target qubit if the control qubit is in the state.
Create new CZ gate.
Attributes
ctrl_state
Type: int
Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.
Return type
int
decompositions
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
definition
Type: List
Return definition in terms of other basic gates. If the gate has open controls, as determined from self.ctrl_state, the returned definition is conjugated with X without changing the internal _definition.
Return type
List
label
Type: str
Return gate label
Return type
str
params
return instruction params.
Methods
add_decomposition
CZGate.add_decomposition(decomposition)
Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
assemble
broadcast_arguments
CZGate.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)
Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.
For example, cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2]) means cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2]). This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:
in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
[q[1], q[2]], []The general broadcasting rules are:
If len(qargs) == 1:
[q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]If len(qargs) == 2:
[[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]] [[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]] [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]If len(qargs) >= 3:
[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]], ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]
Parameters
- qargs (
List) – List of quantum bit arguments. - cargs (
List) – List of classical bit arguments.
Return type
Tuple[List, List]
Returns
A tuple with single arguments.
Raises
CircuitError – If the input is not valid. For example, the number of arguments does not match the gate expectation.
c_if
CZGate.c_if(classical, val)
Add classical condition on register classical and value val.
control
CZGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Return controlled version of gate. See ControlledGate for usage.
Parameters
- num_ctrl_qubits (
Optional[int]) – number of controls to add to gate (default=1) - label (
Optional[str]) – optional gate label - ctrl_state (
Union[int,str,None]) – The control state in decimal or as a bitstring (e.g. ‘111’). If None, use 2**num_ctrl_qubits-1.
Returns
Controlled version of gate. This default algorithm uses num_ctrl_qubits-1 ancillae qubits so returns a gate of size num_qubits + 2*num_ctrl_qubits - 1.
Return type
Raises
QiskitError – unrecognized mode or invalid ctrl_state
copy
CZGate.copy(name=None)
Copy of the instruction.
Parameters
name (str) – name to be given to the copied circuit, if None then the name stays the same.
Returns
a copy of the current instruction, with the name
updated if it was provided
Return type
inverse
CZGate.inverse()
Return inverted CZ gate (itself).
is_parameterized
CZGate.is_parameterized()
Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False
mirror
CZGate.mirror()
For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-gates.
This is done by recursively mirroring all sub-instructions. It does not invert any gate.
Returns
a fresh gate with sub-gates reversed
Return type
power
CZGate.power(exponent)
Creates a unitary gate as gate^exponent.
Parameters
exponent (float) – Gate^exponent
Returns
To which to_matrix is self.to_matrix^exponent.
Return type
Raises
CircuitError – If Gate is not unitary
qasm
CZGate.qasm()
Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction.
Derived instructions may override this to print in a different format (e.g. measure q[0] -> c[0];).
repeat
CZGate.repeat(n)
Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times.
Parameters
n (int) – Number of times to repeat the instruction
Returns
Containing the definition.
Return type
Raises
CircuitError – If n < 1.
to_matrix
CZGate.to_matrix()
Return a Numpy.array for the gate unitary matrix.
Raises
CircuitError – If a Gate subclass does not implement this method an exception will be raised when this base class method is called.
Return type
ndarray
