qiskit.circuit.library.CPhaseGate

class CPhaseGate(theta, label=None, ctrl_state=None)

GitHub

Controlled-Phase gate.

This is a diagonal and symmetric gate that induces a phase on the state of the target qubit, depending on the control state.

Circuit symbol:

q_0: ─■──
      │λ
q_1: ─■──

Matrix representation:

CPhase=00I+11P=(100001000010000eiλ)\begin{split}CPhase = |0\rangle\langle 0| \otimes I + |1\rangle\langle 1| \otimes P = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{i\lambda} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

CRZGate: Due to the global phase difference in the matrix definitions of Phase and RZ, CPhase and CRZ are different gates with a relative phase difference.

assemble()

Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction

Return type

Instruction

broadcast_arguments

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]

Parameters

  • num_ctrl_qubits (int) – number of control qubits.
  • label (str or None) – An optional label for the gate [Default: None]
  • ctrl_state (int or str or None) – control state expressed as integer, string (e.g. ‘110’), or None. If None, use all 1s.

Returns

controlled version of this gate.

ControlledGate

copy

copy(name=None)

Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.

Return type

int

Parameters

n (int) – Number of times to repeat the instruction

Returns

Containing the definition.
