RZGate
class qiskit.circuit.library.RZGate(phi, label=None, *, duration=None, unit='dt')
Bases: 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 rz()
method.
Circuit symbol:
┌───────┐
q_0: ┤ Rz(λ) ├
└───────┘
Matrix Representation:
U1Gate
This gate is equivalent to U1 up to a phase factor.
Reference for virtual Z gate implementation: 1612.00858
Create new RZ gate.
Attributes
base_class
Get the base class of this instruction. This is guaranteed to be in the inheritance tree of self
.
The “base class” of an instruction is the lowest class in its inheritance tree that the object should be considered entirely compatible with for _all_ circuit applications. This typically means that the subclass is defined purely to offer some sort of programmer convenience over the base class, and the base class is the “true” class for a behavioural perspective. In particular, you should not override base_class
if you are defining a custom version of an instruction that will be implemented differently by hardware, such as an alternative measurement strategy, or a version of a parametrised gate with a particular set of parameters for the purposes of distinguishing it in a Target
from the full parametrised gate.
This is often exactly equivalent to type(obj)
, except in the case of singleton instances of standard-library instructions. These singleton instances are special subclasses of their base class, and this property will return that base. For example:
>>> isinstance(XGate(), XGate)
True
>>> type(XGate()) is XGate
False
>>> XGate().base_class is XGate
True
In general, you should not rely on the precise class of an instruction; within a given circuit, it is expected that Instruction.name
should be a more suitable discriminator in most situations.
condition
The classical condition on the instruction.
condition_bits
Get Clbits in condition.
decompositions
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
definition
Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
duration
Get the duration.
label
Return instruction label
mutable
Is this instance is a mutable unique instance or not.
If this attribute is False
the gate instance is a shared singleton and is not mutable.
name
Return the name.
num_clbits
Return the number of clbits.
num_qubits
Return the number of qubits.
params
return instruction params.
unit
Get the time unit of duration.
Methods
control
control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)
Return a (multi-)controlled-RZ 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 orstr 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
inverse()
Return inverted RZ gate
power
power(exponent)
Raise gate to a power.
