# MCXRecursive
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.19/qiskit/circuit/library/standard_gates/x.py" signature="MCXRecursive(num_ctrl_qubits, label=None, ctrl_state=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.circuit.library.standard_gates.x.MCXGate`
Implement the multi-controlled X gate using recursion.
Using a single ancilla qubit, the multi-controlled X gate is recursively split onto four sub-registers. This is done until we reach the 3- or 4-controlled X gate since for these we have a concrete implementation that do not require ancillas.
Create new MCX gate.
## Methods Defined Here
### get\_num\_ancilla\_qubits
<Function id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.get_num_ancilla_qubits" signature="MCXRecursive.get_num_ancilla_qubits(num_ctrl_qubits, mode='recursion')" modifiers="static">
Get the number of required ancilla qubits.
</Function>
### inverse
<Function id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.inverse" signature="MCXRecursive.inverse()">
Invert this gate. The MCX is its own inverse.
</Function>
## Attributes
### condition\_bits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.condition_bits">
Get Clbits in condition.
**Return type**
`List`\[`Clbit`]
</Attribute>
### ctrl\_state
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.ctrl_state">
Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.
**Return type**
`int`
</Attribute>
### decompositions
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.decompositions">
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
</Attribute>
### definition
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.definition">
Return definition in terms of other basic gates. If the gate has open controls, as determined from self.ctrl\_state, the returned definition is conjugated with X without changing the internal \_definition.
**Return type**
`List`
</Attribute>
### duration
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.duration">
Get the duration.
</Attribute>
### label
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.label">
Return instruction label
**Return type**
`str`
</Attribute>
### name
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.name">
Get name of gate. If the gate has open controls the gate name will become:
> \<original\_name\_o\<ctrl\_state>
where \<original\_name> is the gate name for the default case of closed control qubits and \<ctrl\_state> is the integer value of the control state for the gate.
**Return type**
`str`
</Attribute>
### num\_ancilla\_qubits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.num_ancilla_qubits">
The number of ancilla qubits.
</Attribute>
### num\_ctrl\_qubits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.num_ctrl_qubits">
Get number of control qubits.
**Returns**
The number of control qubits for the gate.
**Return type**
int
</Attribute>
### params
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.params">
Get parameters from base\_gate.
**Returns**
List of gate parameters.
**Return type**
list
**Raises**
**CircuitError** Controlled gate does not define a base gate
</Attribute>
### unit
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.MCXRecursive.unit">
Get the time unit of duration.
</Attribute>
</Class>
