SXdgGate

class qiskit.circuit.library.SXdgGate(label=None)

GitHub

Bases: Gate

The inverse single-qubit Sqrt(X) gate.

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

X†=12(1−i1+i1+i1−i)\begin{split}\sqrt{X}^{\dagger} = \frac{1}{2} \begin{pmatrix} 1 - i & 1 + i \\ 1 + i & 1 - i \end{pmatrix}\end{split}
Note

A global phase difference exists between the definitions of RX(−π/2)RX(-\pi/2) and X†\sqrt{X}^{\dagger}.

RX(−π/2)=12(1ii1)=e−ipi/4X†\begin{split}RX(-\pi/2) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & i \\ i & 1 \end{pmatrix} = e^{-i pi/4} \sqrt{X}^{\dagger}\end{split}

Create new SXdg gate.
