# C4XGate
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.18/qiskit/circuit/library/standard_gates/x.py" signature="C4XGate(label=None, ctrl_state=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `qiskit.circuit.controlledgate.ControlledGate`
The 4-qubit controlled X gate.
This implementation is based on Page 21, Lemma 7.5, of \[1], with the use of the relative phase version of c3x, the rc3x \[2].
**References**
\[1] Barenco et al., 1995. [https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9503016.pdf](https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9503016.pdf) \[2] Maslov, 2015. [https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.03273](https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.03273)
Create a new 4-qubit controlled X gate.
## Methods Defined Here
<span id="qiskit-circuit-library-c4xgate-control" />
### control
<Function id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.control" signature="C4XGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)">
Controlled version of this gate.
**Parameters**
* **num\_ctrl\_qubits** (*int*) number of control qubits.
* **label** (*str or None*) An optional label for the gate \[Default: None]
* **ctrl\_state** (*int or str or None*) control state expressed as integer, string (e.g. 110), or None. If None, use all 1s.
**Returns**
controlled version of this gate.
**Return type**
[ControlledGate](qiskit.circuit.ControlledGate "qiskit.circuit.ControlledGate")
</Function>
<span id="qiskit-circuit-library-c4xgate-inverse" />
### inverse
<Function id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.inverse" signature="C4XGate.inverse()">
Invert this gate. The C4X is its own inverse.
</Function>
## Attributes
### ctrl\_state
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.ctrl_state">
Return the control state of the gate as a decimal integer.
**Return type**
`int`
</Attribute>
### decompositions
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.decompositions">
Get the decompositions of the instruction from the SessionEquivalenceLibrary.
</Attribute>
### definition
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.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.C4XGate.duration">
Get the duration.
</Attribute>
### label
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.label">
Return instruction label
**Return type**
`str`
</Attribute>
### name
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.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\_ctrl\_qubits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.C4XGate.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.C4XGate.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.C4XGate.unit">
Get the time unit of duration.
</Attribute>
</Class>
