RYYGate

class RYYGate(theta)

A parameteric 2-qubit $Y \otimes Y$ interaction (rotation about YY).

This gate is symmetric, and is maximally entangling at $\theta = \pi/2$ .

Circuit Symbol:

     ┌─────────┐
q_0: ┤1        ├
     │  Ryy(ϴ) │
q_1: ┤0        ├
     └─────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\providecommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}R_{YY}(\theta) = exp(-i \th Y{\otimes}Y) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\th) & 0 & 0 & i\sin(\th) \\ 0 & \cos(\th) & -i\sin(\th) & 0 \\ 0 & -i\sin(\th) & \cos(\th) & 0 \\ i\sin(\th) & 0 & 0 & \cos(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

$R_{YY}(\theta = 0) = I$ $R_{YY}(\theta = \pi) = i Y \otimes Y$ $\begin{split}R_{YY}(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & i \\ 0 & 1 & -i & 0 \\ 0 & -i & 1 & 0 \\ i & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}$

Attributes

Return gate label

Return type

str

params

Methods

add_decomposition

RYYGate.add_decomposition(decomposition)

Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.

assemble

RYYGate.assemble()

Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction

Return type

Instruction

broadcast_arguments

RYYGate.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

RYYGate.c_if(classical, val)

Add classical condition on register classical and value val.

control

RYYGate.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

qiskit.circuit.ControlledGate

Raises

QiskitError – unrecognized mode or invalid ctrl_state

copy

RYYGate.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

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

inverse

RYYGate.inverse()

Return inverse RYY gate (i.e. with the negative rotation angle).

is_parameterized

RYYGate.is_parameterized()

Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False

mirror

RYYGate.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

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

power

RYYGate.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

qiskit.extensions.UnitaryGate

Raises

CircuitError – If Gate is not unitary

qasm

RYYGate.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

RYYGate.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

qiskit.circuit.Instruction

Raises

CircuitError – If n < 1.

to_matrix

RYYGate.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
