RVGate

class RVGate(v_x, v_y, v_z, basis='U')

GitHub

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Rotation around arbitrary rotation axis vv where v|v| is angle of rotation in radians.

Can be applied to a QuantumCircuit with the rv() method.

Circuit symbol:

     ┌─────────────────┐
q_0:RV(v_x,v_y,v_z)
     └─────────────────┘

Matrix Representation:

R(v)=eivσ=(cosvivzsinc(v)(ivx+vy)sinc(v)(ivxvy)sinc(v)cos(v)+ivzsinc(v))\begin{split}\providecommand{\th}{|\vec{v}|} \providecommand{\sinc}{\text{sinc}} R(\vec{v}) = e^{-i \vec{v}\cdot\vec{\sigma}} = \begin{pmatrix} \cos{\th} -i v_z \sinc(\th) & -(i v_x + v_y) \sinc(\th) \\ -(i v_x - v_y) \sinc(\th) & \cos(\th) + i v_z \sinc(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Create new rv single-qubit gate.

Parameters

  • v_x (float) – x-component
  • v_y (float) – y-component
  • v_z (float) – z-component
  • basis (str, optional) – basis (see OneQubitEulerDecomposer)
