OneQubitEulerDecomposer

class qiskit.synthesis.OneQubitEulerDecomposer(basis='U3', use_dag=False)

Bases: object

A class for decomposing 1-qubit unitaries into Euler angle rotations.

The resulting decomposition is parameterized by 3 Euler rotation angle parameters $(\theta, \phi, \lambda)$ , and a phase parameter $\gamma$ . The value of the parameters for an input unitary depends on the decomposition basis. Allowed bases and the resulting circuits are shown in the following table. Note that for the non-Euler bases ( $U3$ , $U1X$ , $RR$ ), the $ZYZ$ Euler parameters are used.
