CRZGate

class CRZGate(theta, label=None, ctrl_state=None)

Controlled-RZ gate.

This is a diagonal but non-symmetric gate that induces a phase on the state of the target qubit, depending on the control state.

Circuit symbol:

q_0: ────■────
     ┌───┴───┐
q_1: ┤ Rz(λ) ├
     └───────┘

Matrix representation:

\[\begin{split}CRZ(\lambda)\ q_0, q_1 = I \otimes |0\rangle\langle 0| + RZ(\lambda) \otimes |1\rangle\langle 1| = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & e^{-i\frac{\lambda}{2}} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{i\frac{\lambda}{2}} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

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: ┤ Rz(λ) ├
     └───┬───┘
q_1: ────■────

\[\begin{split}CRZ(\lambda)\ q_1, q_0 = |0\rangle\langle 0| \otimes I + |1\rangle\langle 1| \otimes RZ(\lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & e^{-i\frac{\lambda}{2}} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & e^{i\frac{\lambda}{2}} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

CU1Gate: Due to the global phase difference in the matrix definitions of U1 and RZ, CU1 and CRZ are different gates with a relative phase difference.
