RXXGate.broadcast_arguments

RXXGate.broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)

Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.

For example, cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2]) means cx(q[0], q[2]); cx(q[1], q[2]). This method yields the arguments in the right grouping. In the given example:

in: [[q[0],q[1]], q[2]],[]
outs: [q[0], q[2]], []
      [q[1], q[2]], []

The general broadcasting rules are:

• If len(qargs) == 1:

  [q[0], q[1]] -> [q[0]],[q[1]]
  

• If len(qargs) == 2:

  [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]]] -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[1]]
  [[q[0]], [r[0], r[1]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[0], r[1]]
  [[q[0], q[1]], [r[0]]]       -> [q[0], r[0]], [q[1], r[0]]
  

• If len(qargs) >= 3:

  [q[0], q[1]], [r[0], r[1]],  ...] -> [q[0], r[0], ...], [q[1], r[1], ...]
  

Parameters

• qargs (List) – List of quantum bit arguments.

• cargs (List) – List of classical bit arguments.

Return type

Tuple[List, List]

Returns

A tuple with single arguments.

Raises

CircuitError – If the input is not valid. For example, the number of arguments does not match the gate expectation.
