cirq.decompose_multi_controlled_rotation

Implements action of multi-controlled unitary gate.

cirq.decompose_multi_controlled_rotation(
    matrix: np.ndarray, controls: List['cirq.Qid'], target: 'cirq.Qid'
) -> List['cirq.Operation']

Returns a sequence of operations, which is equivalent to applying single-qubit gate with matrix matrix on target, controlled by controls.

Result is guaranteed to consist exclusively of 1-qubit, CNOT and CCNOT gates.

If matrix is special unitary, result has length O(len(controls)). Otherwise result has length O(len(controls)**2).

matrix - 2x2 numpy unitary matrix (of real or complex dtype). controls - control qubits. targets - target qubits.

A list of operations which, applied in a sequence, are equivalent to applying MatrixGate(matrix).on(target).controlled_by(*controls).
