XOR

class XOR(num_qubits, amount=None, seed=None)

An n_qubit circuit for bitwise xor-ing the input with some integer amount.

The amount is xor-ed in bitstring form with the input.

This circuit can also represent addition by amount over the finite field GF(2).

Return a circuit implementing bitwise xor.

Parameters

• num_qubits (int) – the width of circuit.

• amount (Optional[int]) – the xor amount in decimal form.

• seed (Optional[int]) – random seed in case a random xor is requested.

Raises

CircuitError – if the xor bitstring exceeds available qubits.
