DCXGate

class DCXGate

Bases: qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate

Double-CNOT gate.

A 2-qubit Clifford gate consisting of two back-to-back CNOTs with alternate controls.

q_0: ──■──┤ X ├

q_1: ┤ X ├──■──

This is a classical logic gate, equivalent to a CNOT-SWAP (CNS) sequence, and locally equivalent to an iSWAP.

\[\begin{split}DCX\ q_0, q_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]
