U3Gate

class U3Gate(theta, phi, lam, label=None)

Generic single-qubit rotation gate with 3 Euler angles.

Implemented using two X90 pulses on IBM Quantum systems:

\[U3(\theta, \phi, \lambda) = RZ(\phi - \pi/2) RX(\pi/2) RZ(\pi - \theta) RX(\pi/2) RZ(\lambda - \pi/2)\]

Circuit symbol:

     ┌───────────┐
q_0: ┤ U3(ϴ,φ,λ) ├
     └───────────┘

Matrix Representation:

\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\newcommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}U3(\theta, \phi, \lambda) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\th) & -e^{i\lambda}\sin(\th) \\ e^{i\phi}\sin(\th) & e^{i(\phi+\lambda)}\cos(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]

Examples:

\[U3(\theta, -\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{pi}{2}) = RX(\theta)\]

\[U3(\theta, 0, 0) = RY(\theta)\]

Create new U3 gate.
