U2Gate

class U2Gate(phi, lam, label=None)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Single-qubit rotation about the X+Z axis.

Implemented using one X90 pulse on IBM Quantum systems:

U2(\phi, \lambda) = RZ(\phi).RY(\frac{\pi}{2}).RZ(\lambda)

Circuit symbol:

     ┌─────────┐
q_0: ┤ U2(φ,λ) ├
     └─────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\begin{split}U2(\phi, \lambda) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & -e^{i\lambda} \\ e^{i\phi} & e^{i(\phi+\lambda)} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

U2(0, \pi) = H U2(0, 0) = RY(\pi/2) U2(-\pi/2, \pi/2) = RX(\pi/2)
