RXXGate

class qiskit.circuit.library.RXXGate(theta, label=None)

Bases: Gate

A parametric 2-qubit $X \otimes X$ interaction (rotation about XX).

This gate is symmetric, and is maximally entangling at $\theta = \pi/2$ .

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

Circuit Symbol:

     ┌─────────┐
q_0: ┤1        ├
     │  Rxx(ϴ) │
q_1: ┤0        ├
     └─────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\providecommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}R_{XX}(\theta) = \exp\left(-i \th X{\otimes}X\right) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos\left(\th\right) & 0 & 0 & -i\sin\left(\th\right) \\ 0 & \cos\left(\th\right) & -i\sin\left(\th\right) & 0 \\ 0 & -i\sin\left(\th\right) & \cos\left(\th\right) & 0 \\ -i\sin\left(\th\right) & 0 & 0 & \cos\left(\th\right) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

Examples:

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