<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.AND" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.23/qiskit/circuit/library/boolean_logic/quantum_and.py" signature="AND(num_variable_qubits, flags=None, mcx_mode='noancilla')" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: [`qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit`](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit")
|
||
|
||
A circuit implementing the logical AND operation on a number of qubits.
|
||
|
||
For the AND operation the state $|1\rangle$ is interpreted as `True`. The result qubit is flipped, if the state of all variable qubits is `True`. In this format, the AND operation equals a multi-controlled X gate, which is controlled on all variable qubits. Using a list of flags however, qubits can be skipped or negated. Practically, the flags allow to skip controls or to apply pre- and post-X gates to the negated qubits.
|
||
|
||
The AND gate without special flags equals the multi-controlled-X gate:
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Using flags we can negate qubits or skip them. For instance, if we have 5 qubits and want to return `True` if the first qubit is `False` and the last two are `True` we use the flags `[-1, 0, 0, 1, 1]`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Create a new logical AND circuit.
|
||
|
||
**Parameters**
|
||
|
||
* **num\_variable\_qubits** (`int`) – The qubits of which the OR is computed. The result will be written into an additional result qubit.
|
||
* **flags** (`Optional`\[`List`\[`int`]]) – A list of +1/0/-1 marking negations or omissions of qubits.
|
||
* **mcx\_mode** (`str`) – The mode to be used to implement the multi-controlled X gate.

|

### parameters
|
||
|
||
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.AND.parameters">
|
||
The parameters defined in the circuit.
|
||
|
||
This attribute returns the [`Parameter`](qiskit.circuit.Parameter "qiskit.circuit.Parameter") objects in the circuit sorted alphabetically. Note that parameters instantiated with a [`ParameterVector`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector "qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector") are still sorted numerically.
|
||
|
||
**Examples**
|
||
|
||
The snippet below shows that insertion order of parameters does not matter.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
|
||
>>> a, b, elephant = Parameter("a"), Parameter("b"), Parameter("elephant")
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> circuit.rx(b, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.rz(elephant, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.ry(a, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters # sorted alphabetically!
|
||
ParameterView([Parameter(a), Parameter(b), Parameter(elephant)])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Bear in mind that alphabetical sorting might be unituitive when it comes to numbers. The literal “10” comes before “2” in strict alphabetical sorting.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter
|
||
>>> angles = [Parameter("angle_1"), Parameter("angle_2"), Parameter("angle_10")]
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> circuit.u(*angles, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.draw()
|
||
┌─────────────────────────────┐
|
||
q: ┤ U(angle_1,angle_2,angle_10) ├
|
||
└─────────────────────────────┘
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters
|
||
ParameterView([Parameter(angle_1), Parameter(angle_10), Parameter(angle_2)])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To respect numerical sorting, a [`ParameterVector`](qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector "qiskit.circuit.ParameterVector") can be used.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
>>> from qiskit.circuit import QuantumCircuit, Parameter, ParameterVector
|
||
>>> x = ParameterVector("x", 12)
|
||
>>> circuit = QuantumCircuit(1)
|
||
>>> for x_i in x:
|
||
... circuit.rx(x_i, 0)
|
||
>>> circuit.parameters
|
||
ParameterView([
|
||
ParameterVectorElement(x[0]), ParameterVectorElement(x[1]),
|
||
ParameterVectorElement(x[2]), ParameterVectorElement(x[3]),
|
||
..., ParameterVectorElement(x[11])
|
||
])
|
||
```
|
||
|
