RXXGate(theta)[source]¶ A parameteric 2-qubit \(X \otimes X\) interaction (rotation about XX).
This gate is symmetric, and is maximally entangling at \(\theta = \pi/2\).
Circuit Symbol:
┌─────────┐ q_0: ┤1 ├ │ Rxx(ϴ) │ q_1: ┤0 ├ └─────────┘Matrix Representation:
\[ \begin{align}\begin{aligned}\newcommand{\th}{\frac{\theta}{2}}\\\begin{split}R_{XX}(\theta) = exp(-i \th X{\otimes}X) = \begin{pmatrix} \cos(\th) & 0 & 0 & -i\sin(\th) \\ 0 & \cos(\th) & -i\sin(\th) & 0 \\ 0 & -i\sin(\th) & \cos(\th) & 0 \\ -i\sin(\th) & 0 & 0 & \cos(\th) \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\end{aligned}\end{align} \]Examples:

broadcast_arguments(qargs, cargs)¶ Validation and handling of the arguments and its relationship.
For example,
cx([q[0],q[1]], q[2])meanscx(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.
-
c_if(classical, val)¶ Add classical condition on register classical and value val.
-
control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)¶ Return controlled version of gate. See
ControlledGatefor usage.- Parameters
num_ctrl_qubits (
Optional[int]) – number of controls to add to gate (default=1)label (
Optional[str]) – optional gate labelctrl_state (
Union[int,str,None]) – The control state in decimal or as a bitstring (e.g. ‘111’). If None, use 2**num_ctrl_qubits-1.
- Returns
Controlled version of gate. This default algorithm uses num_ctrl_qubits-1 ancillae qubits so returns a gate of size num_qubits + 2*num_ctrl_qubits - 1.
- Return type
- Raises
QiskitError – unrecognized mode or invalid ctrl_state
-
copy(name=None)¶ Copy of the instruction.
- Parameters
name (str) – name to be given to the copied circuit, if None then the name stays the same.
- Returns
- a copy of the current instruction, with the name
updated if it was provided
- Return type
-
property
decompositions¶ Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
-
property
definition¶ Return definition in terms of other basic gates.
-
property
duration¶ Get the duration.
-
is_parameterized()¶ Return True .IFF. instruction is parameterized else False
-
property
label¶ Return gate label
- Return type
str
-
mirror()¶ DEPRECATED: use instruction.reverse_ops().
- Returns
- a new instruction with sub-instructions
reversed.
- Return type
-
property
params¶ return instruction params.
-
power(exponent)¶ Creates a unitary gate as gate^exponent.
- Parameters
exponent (float) – Gate^exponent
- Returns
To which to_matrix is self.to_matrix^exponent.
- Return type
- Raises
CircuitError – If Gate is not unitary
-
qasm()¶ Return a default OpenQASM string for the instruction.
Derived instructions may override this to print in a different format (e.g. measure q[0] -> c[0];).
-
repeat(n)¶ Creates an instruction with gate repeated n amount of times.
- Parameters
n (int) – Number of times to repeat the instruction
- Returns
Containing the definition.
- Return type

CircuitError – If n < 1.
-
reverse_ops()¶ For a composite instruction, reverse the order of sub-instructions.
This is done by recursively reversing all sub-instructions. It does not invert any gate.
- Returns
- a new instruction with
sub-instructions reversed.
- Return type
-
property
