mimiqcircuits.operations.gates.standard.id

Identity (ID) gate.

Classes

GateID()

Single qubit Identity gate.

class mimiqcircuits.operations.gates.standard.id.GateID

Bases: Gate

Single qubit Identity gate.

Matrix representation:

\[\begin{split}\operatorname{ID} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

Examples

>>> from mimiqcircuits import *
>>> GateID()
ID
>>> GateID().matrix()
[1.0, 0]
[0, 1.0]

>>> c = Circuit().push(GateID(), 0)
>>> c
1-qubit circuit with 1 instruction:
└── ID @ q[0]

>>> GateID().power(2), GateID().inverse()
(ID, ID)
>>> GateID().decompose()
1-qubit circuit with 1 instruction:
└── U(0, 0, 0, 0.0) @ q[0]

inverse()

Raise an error, as non-unitary operators cannot be inverted.

This method is not implemented for non-unitary operators and will raise a NotImplementedError if called.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If the method is called.
