MCXGrayCode#

class qiskit.circuit.library.MCXGrayCode(num_ctrl_qubits=None, label=None, ctrl_state=None)[source]#

Bases : MCXGate

Implement the multi-controlled X gate using the Gray code.

This delegates the implementation to the MCU1 gate, since \(X = H \cdot U1(\pi) \cdot H\).

Create new MCX gate.

Attributes

condition_bits#

Get Clbits in condition.

ctrl_state#

Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.

decompositions#

Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.

definition#

Return definition in terms of other basic gates. If the gate has open controls, as determined from self.ctrl_state, the returned definition is conjugated with X without changing the internal _definition.

duration#

Get the duration.

label#

Return instruction label

name#

Get name of gate. If the gate has open controls the gate name will become:

<original_name_o<ctrl_state>

where <original_name> is the gate name for the default case of closed control qubits and <ctrl_state> is the integer value of the control state for the gate.

num_ancilla_qubits#

The number of ancilla qubits.

num_clbits#

Return the number of clbits.

num_ctrl_qubits#

Get number of control qubits.

Renvoie:

The number of control qubits for the gate.

Type renvoyé:

int

num_qubits#

Return the number of qubits.

params#

Get parameters from base_gate.

Renvoie:

List of gate parameters.

Type renvoyé:

list

Lève:

CircuitError – Controlled gate does not define a base gate

unit#

Get the time unit of duration.

Methods

inverse()[source]#

Invert this gate. The MCX is its own inverse.
