XXMinusYYGate

class XXMinusYYGate(theta, beta=0, label='{XX-YY}')

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

XX-YY interaction gate.

A 2-qubit parameterized XX-YY interaction. Its action is to induce a coherent rotation by some angle between $|00\rangle$ and $|11\rangle$ .

Circuit Symbol:

     ┌───────────────┐
q_0: ┤0              ├
     │  {XX-YY}(θ,β) │
q_1: ┤1              ├
     └───────────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\providecommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}R_{XX-YY}(\theta, \beta) q_0, q_1 = RZ_1(\beta) \cdot exp(-i \frac{\theta}{2} \frac{XX-YY}{2}) \cdot RZ_1(-\beta) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\th) & 0 & 0 & -i\sin(\th)e^{-i\beta} \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ -i\sin(\th)e^{i\beta} & 0 & 0 & \cos(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Note

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 adding the (optional) phase defined by $beta$ on q_1. Instead, if we apply it on (q_1, q_0), the phase is added on q_0. If $beta$ is set to its default value of $0$ , the gate is equivalent in big and little endian.
