cirq.M

Returns a single MeasurementGate applied to all the given qubits.

Used in the guide Used in the tutorials

The qubits are measured in the computational basis. This can also be used with the alias cirq.M.

*target The qubits that the measurement gate should measure. These can be specified as separate function arguments or with a single argument for an iterable of qubits.
key Optional str or cirq.MeasurementKey that gate should use. If none provided, it defaults to a comma-separated list of str(qubit) for each of the target qubits.
invert_mask A list of Truthy or Falsey values indicating whether the corresponding qubits should be flipped. None indicates no inverting should be done.
confusion_map A map of qubit index sets (using indices in target) to the 2D confusion matrix for those qubits. Indices not included use the identity. Applied before invert_mask if both are provided.

An operation targeting the given qubits with a measurement.

ValueError If the qubits are not instances of Qid.
