rzzGate

Ising ZZ coupling gate

Since R2023a

Installation Required: This functionality requires MATLAB Support Package for Quantum Computing.

Description

example

g = rzzGate(targetQubit1,targetQubit2,theta) applies an Ising ZZ coupling gate to two target qubits with a phase parameter theta and returns a quantum.gate.SimpleGate object.

  • If targetQubit1, targetQubit2, and theta are vectors of the same length, rzzGate returns a column vector of gates, where g(i) represents an Ising ZZ coupling gate applied to the ith element triplet of targetQubit1, targetQubit2, and theta.

  • If any of targetQubit1, targetQubit2, or theta is a scalar, and at least one of the inputs is a vector, then MATLAB® expands the scalar to match the size of the vector input.

  • The qubit indices in each element pair of targetQubit1 and targetQubit2 must not be the same.
