cirq.CSwapGate

A controlled swap gate. The Fredkin gate.

Inherits From: InterchangeableQubitsGate, Gate

Methods

controlled

View source

controlled(
    num_controls: Optional[int] = None,
    control_values: Optional[Union[cv.AbstractControlValues, Sequence[Union[int, Collection[int]]]]
        ] = None,
    control_qid_shape: Optional[Tuple[int, ...]] = None
) -> cirq.Gate

Returns a controlled SWAP with one additional control.

The controlled method of the Gate class, of which this class is a child, returns a ControlledGate with sub_gate = self. This method overrides this behavior to return a ControlledGate with sub_gate = SWAP.

num_qubits

View source

num_qubits() -> int

The number of qubits this gate acts on.

on

View source

on(
    *qubits
) -> 'Operation'

Returns an application of this gate to the given qubits.

Args
*qubits The collection of qubits to potentially apply the gate to.

Returns: a cirq.Operation which is this gate applied to the given qubits.

on_each

View source

on_each(
    *targets
) -> List['cirq.Operation']

Returns a list of operations applying the gate to all targets.

Args
*targets The qubits to apply this gate to. For single-qubit gates this can be provided as varargs or a combination of nested iterables. For multi-qubit gates this must be provided as an Iterable[Sequence[Qid]], where each sequence has num_qubits qubits.

Returns
Operations applying this gate to the target qubits.

Raises
ValueError If targets are not instances of Qid or Iterable[Qid]. If the gate qubit number is incompatible.
TypeError If a single target is supplied and it is not iterable.

qubit_index_to_equivalence_group_key

View source

qubit_index_to_equivalence_group_key(
    index
)

Returns a key that differs between non-interchangeable qubits.

validate_args

View source

validate_args(
    qubits: Sequence['cirq.Qid']
) -> None

Checks if this gate can be applied to the given qubits.

By default checks that:

  • inputs are of type Qid
  • len(qubits) == num_qubits()
  • qubit_i.dimension == qid_shape[i] for all qubits

Child classes can override. The child implementation should call super().validate_args(qubits) then do custom checks.

Args
qubits The sequence of qubits to potentially apply the gate to.

Raises
ValueError The gate can't be applied to the qubits.

with_probability

View source

with_probability(
    probability: 'cirq.TParamVal'
) -> 'cirq.Gate'

Creates a probabilistic channel with this gate.

Args
probability floating point value between 0 and 1, giving the probability this gate is applied.

Returns
cirq.RandomGateChannel that applies self with probability probability and the identity with probability 1-p.

wrap_in_linear_combination

View source

wrap_in_linear_combination(
    coefficient: Union[complex, float, int] = 1
) -> 'cirq.LinearCombinationOfGates'

Returns a LinearCombinationOfGates with this gate.

Args
coefficient number coefficient to use in the resulting cirq.LinearCombinationOfGates object.

Returns
cirq.LinearCombinationOfGates containing self with a coefficient of coefficient.
