RCCXGate
class qiskit.circuit.library.RCCXGate(*args, _force_mutable=False, **kwargs)
Bases: SingletonGate
The simplified Toffoli gate, also referred to as Margolus gate.
The simplified Toffoli gate implements the Toffoli gate up to relative phases. This implementation requires three CX gates which is the minimal amount possible, as shown in https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0312225. Note, that the simplified Toffoli is not equivalent to the Toffoli. But can be used in places where the Toffoli gate is uncomputed again.
This concrete implementation is from https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.03273, the dashed box of Fig. 3.
Can be applied to a QuantumCircuit with the rccx() method.
Create a new simplified CCX 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 behavioral 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 parametrized gate with a particular set of parameters for the purposes of distinguishing it in a Target from the full parametrized 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
TrueIn 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
The parameters of this Instruction. Ideally these will be gate angles.
unit
Get the time unit of duration.
