UGate

class UGate(theta, phi, lam, label=None)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Generic single-qubit rotation gate with 3 Euler angles.

Implemented using two X90 pulses on IBM Quantum systems:

U(\theta, \phi, \lambda) = RZ(\phi - \pi/2) RX(\pi/2) RZ(\pi - \theta) RX(\pi/2) RZ(\lambda - \pi/2)

Circuit symbol:

     ┌──────────┐
q_0: ┤ U(ϴ,φ,λ) ├
     └──────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\providecommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}U(\theta, \phi, \lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\th) & -e^{i\lambda}\sin(\th) \\ e^{i\phi}\sin(\th) & e^{i(\phi+\lambda)}\cos(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

U\left(\theta, -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = RX(\theta)

U(\theta, 0, 0) = RY(\theta)

Create new U gate.

Methods Defined Here

UGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)

Return a (multi-)controlled-U 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

ControlledGate

UGate.inverse()

Return inverted U gate.
