IGate

class IGate(label=None)

Identity gate.

Identity gate corresponds to a single-qubit gate wait cycle, and should not be optimized or unrolled (it is an opaque gate).

Matrix Representation:

\[\begin{split}I = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

Circuit symbol:

     ┌───┐
q_0: ┤ I ├
     └───┘

Create new Identity gate.

Attributes

IGate.decompositions	Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
IGate.definition	Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
IGate.label	Return gate label
IGate.params	return instruction params.

Methods

IGate.add_decomposition(decomposition)	Add a decomposition of the instruction to the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
