SwapGate
class SwapGate(label=None)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate
The SWAP gate.
This is a symmetric and Clifford gate.
Circuit symbol:
q_0: ─X─
│
q_1: ─X─
Matrix Representation:
The gate is equivalent to a state swap and is a classical logic gate.
Create new SWAP gate.
Methods Defined Here
control
SwapGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Return a (multi-)controlled-SWAP gate.
One control returns a CSWAP (Fredkin) gate.
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.
Return type
inverse
SwapGate.inverse()
Return inverse Swap gate (itself).
