# MCXGate¶

class MCXGate(num_ctrl_qubits=None, label=None, ctrl_state=None)[source]

The general, multi-controlled X gate.

Create new MCX gate.

Attributes

 MCXGate.ctrl_state Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer. MCXGate.decompositions Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary. MCXGate.definition Return definition in terms of other basic gates. MCXGate.label Return gate label MCXGate.num_ancilla_qubits The number of ancilla qubits. MCXGate.num_ctrl_qubits Get number of control qubits. MCXGate.params return instruction params.

Methods

 MCXGate.add_decomposition(decomposition) Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary. Assemble a QasmQobjInstruction MCXGate.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs) Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship. MCXGate.c_if(classical, val) Add classical condition on register classical and value val. MCXGate.control([num_ctrl_qubits, label, …]) Return a multi-controlled-X gate with more control lines. MCXGate.copy([name]) Copy of the instruction. MCXGate.get_num_ancilla_qubits(num_ctrl_qubits) Get the number of required ancilla qubits without instantiating the class. Invert this gate. Return True .IFF. DEPRECATED: use instruction.reverse_ops(). MCXGate.power(exponent) Creates a unitary gate as gate^exponent. Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction. Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times. For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-instructions. Return a Numpy.array for the gate unitary matrix.
