PauliGate

class PauliGate(label)

GitHub

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

A multi-qubit Pauli gate.

This gate exists for optimization purposes for the quantum statevector simulation, since applying multiple pauli gates to different qubits at once can be done via a single pass on the statevector.

The functionality is equivalent to applying the pauli gates sequentially using standard Qiskit gates

Create a new gate.

Parameters

  • name – The Qobj name of the gate.
  • num_qubits – The number of qubits the gate acts on.
  • params – A list of parameters.
  • label – An optional label for the gate.

Methods Defined Here

inverse

PauliGate.inverse()

validate_parameter

Gate parameters should be int, float, or ParameterExpression
