ECRGate
class ECRGate
Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate
An echoed RZX(pi/2) gate implemented using RZX(pi/4) and RZX(-pi/4).
This gate is maximally entangling and is equivalent to a CNOT up to single-qubit pre-rotations. The echoing procedure mitigates some unwanted terms (terms other than ZX) to cancel in an experiment.

In Qiskit’s convention, higher qubit indices are more significant (little endian convention). In the above example we apply the gate on (q_0, q_1) which results in the tensor order. Instead, if we apply it on (q_1, q_0), the matrix will be :
