PhaseGate

class PhaseGate(theta, label=None)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Single-qubit rotation about the Z axis.

This is a diagonal gate. It can be implemented virtually in hardware via framechanges (i.e. at zero error and duration).

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

Circuit symbol:

     ┌──────┐
q_0: ┤ P(λ) ├
     └──────┘

Matrix Representation:

\begin{split}P(\lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & e^{i\lambda} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

$P(\lambda = \pi) = Z$ $P(\lambda = \pi/2) = S$ $P(\lambda = \pi/4) = T$

Methods Defined Here

control

PhaseGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)

Return a (multi-)controlled-Phase 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

ControlledGate

inverse

PhaseGate.inverse()

Return inverted Phase gate ( $Phase(\lambda){\dagger} = Phase(-\lambda)$ )

power

PhaseGate.power(exponent)

Raise gate to a power.
