RZGate

RZGate(phi, label=None)

GitHub(opens in a new tab)

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.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).

Circuit symbol:

     ┌───────┐
q_0:Rz(λ)
     └───────┘

Matrix Representation:

RZ(λ)=exp(iλ2Z)=(eiλ200eiλ2)\begin{split}RZ(\lambda) = exp(-i\frac{\lambda}{2}Z) = \begin{pmatrix} e^{-i\frac{\lambda}{2}} & 0 \\ 0 & e^{i\frac{\lambda}{2}} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}

U1Gate This gate is equivalent to U1 up to a phase factor.

U1(λ)=eiλ/2RZ(λ)U1(\lambda) = e^{i{\lambda}/2}RZ(\lambda)

Methods Defined Here

control

RZGate.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 or str or None) – control state expressed as integer, string (e.g. ‘110’), or None. If None, use all 1s.

Returns
