XGate
class XGate(label=None)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate
The single-qubit Pauli-X gate ().
Can be applied to a QuantumCircuit with the x() method.
Matrix Representation:
Circuit symbol:
┌───┐
q_0: ┤ X ├
└───┘Equivalent to a radian rotation about the X axis.
A global phase difference exists between the definitions of and .
The gate is equivalent to a classical bit flip.
Create new X gate.
Methods Defined Here
control
XGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Return a (multi-)controlled-X gate.
One control returns a CX gate. Two controls returns a CCX gate.
Parameters
- num_ctrl_qubits (int) – number of control qubits.
- label (str or None) – An optional label for the gate [Default: None]
- ctrl_state (int or str or None) – control state expressed as integer, string (e.g. ‘110’), or None. If None, use all 1s.
Returns
controlled version of this gate.
Return type
inverse
XGate.inverse()
Return inverted X gate (itself).
