[docs]class RZZGate(Gate):
r"""A parametric 2-qubit :math:`Z \otimes Z` interaction (rotation about ZZ).
This gate is symmetric, and is maximally entangling at :math:`\theta = \pi/2`.
Can be applied to a :class:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit`
with the :meth:`~qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit.rzz` method.
**Circuit Symbol:**
.. parsed-literal::
q_0: ββββ ββββ
βzz(ΞΈ)
q_1: ββββ ββββ
**Matrix Representation:**
.. math::
\newcommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}
R_{ZZ}(\theta) = \exp\left(-i \th Z{\otimes}Z\right) =
\begin{pmatrix}
e^{-i \th} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & e^{i \th} & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & e^{i \th} & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & e^{-i \th}
\end{pmatrix}
This is a direct sum of RZ rotations, so this gate is equivalent to a
uniformly controlled (multiplexed) RZ gate:
.. math::
R_{ZZ}(\theta) =
\begin{pmatrix}
RZ(\theta) & 0 \\
0 & RZ(-\theta)
\end{pmatrix}
**Examples:**
.. math::
R_{ZZ}(\theta = 0) = I
.. math::
R_{ZZ}(\theta = 2\pi) = -I
.. math::
R_{ZZ}(\theta = \pi) = - Z \otimes Z
.. math::
R_{ZZ}\left(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
\begin{pmatrix}
1-i & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 1+i & 0 & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 1+i & 0 \\
0 & 0 & 0 & 1-i
\end{pmatrix}
