CHGate

class CHGate(label=None, ctrl_state=None)

Controlled-Hadamard gate.

Applies a Hadamard on the target qubit if the control is in the \(|1\rangle\) state.

Circuit symbol:

q_0: ──■──

┌─┴─┐

q_1: ┤ H ├

└───┘

Matrix Representation:

\[\begin{split}CH\ q_0, q_1 = I \otimes |0\rangle\langle 0| + H \otimes |1\rangle\langle 1| = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & -1 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

Note

In Qiskit’s convention, higher qubit indices are more significant (little endian convention). In many textbooks, controlled gates are presented with the assumption of more significant qubits as control, which in our case would be q_1. Thus a textbook matrix for this gate will be:

     ┌───┐
q_0: ┤ H ├
     └─┬─┘
q_1: ──■──

\[\begin{split}CH\ q_1, q_0 = |0\rangle\langle 0| \otimes I + |1\rangle\langle 1| \otimes H = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & -1 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]
