cirq_ionq.ionq_native_gates.MS

An instance of the two qubit Mølmer–Sørensen (MS) gate with no phases.

The unitary matrix of this gate for parameters \(\phi_0\) and \(\phi_1\) is

\[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & -i \\ 0 & 1 & -i & 0 \\ 0 & -i & 1 & 0 \\ -i & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \end{bmatrix} \]
