SGate

class qiskit.circuit.library.SGate(label=None)

Bases: Gate

Single qubit S gate (Z**0.5).

It induces a \(\pi/2\) phase, and is sometimes called the P gate (phase).

This is a Clifford gate and a square-root of Pauli-Z.

Can be applied to a QuantumCircuit with the s() method.

Matrix Representation:

\[\begin{split}S = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & i \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

Circuit symbol:

     ┌───┐
q_0: ┤ S ├
     └───┘

Equivalent to a \(\pi/2\) radian rotation about the Z axis.

Create new S gate.
