RZZGate

class RZZGate(theta, label=None)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Z \otimes Z

\theta = \pi/2

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

Circuit Symbol:

q_0: ───■────
        │zz(θ)
q_1: ───■────

Matrix Representation:

\providecommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}R_{ZZ}(\theta) = \exp\left(-i \th Z{\otimes}Z\right) = \begin{pmatrix} e^{-i \th} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & e^{i \th} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & e^{i \th} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-i \th} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

This is a direct sum of RZ rotations, so this gate is equivalent to a uniformly controlled (multiplexed) RZ gate:

\begin{split}R_{ZZ}(\theta) = \begin{pmatrix} RZ(\theta) & 0 \\ 0 & RZ(-\theta) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

$R_{ZZ}(\theta = 0) = I$ $R_{ZZ}(\theta = 2\pi) = -I$ $R_{ZZ}(\theta = \pi) = - Z \otimes Z$ $\begin{split}R_{ZZ}\left(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1-i & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1+i & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1+i & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1-i \end{pmatrix}\end{split}$
