PauliGate#

class qiskit.circuit.library.PauliGate(label)[source]#

Bases : Gate

A multi-qubit Pauli gate.

This gate exists for optimization purposes for the quantum statevector simulation, since applying multiple pauli gates to different qubits at once can be done via a single pass on the statevector.

The functionality is equivalent to applying the pauli gates sequentially using standard Qiskit gates.

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

Create a new gate.

Paramètres:

name – The Qobj name of the gate.
num_qubits – The number of qubits the gate acts on.
params – A list of parameters.
label – An optional label for the gate.
