# GRX
<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/Qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/1.2/qiskit/circuit/library/generalized_gates/gr.py#L73-L118" signature="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX(num_qubits, theta)" modifiers="class">
Bases: [`GR`](qiskit.circuit.library.GR "qiskit.circuit.library.generalized_gates.gr.GR")
Global RX gate.
**Circuit symbol:**
```python
┌──────────┐
q_0: ┤0 ├
│ │
q_1: ┤1 GRX(ϴ) ├
│ │
q_2: ┤2 ├
└──────────┘
```
The global RX gate is native to atomic systems (ion traps, cold neutrals). The global RX can be applied to multiple qubits simultaneously.
In the one-qubit case, this is equivalent to an RX(theta) operations, and is thus reduced to the RXGate. The global RX gate is a direct sum of RX operations on all individual qubits.
$$
GRX(\theta) = \exp(-i \sum_{i=1}^{n} X_i \theta/2)
$$
**Expanded Circuit:**
![../\_images/qiskit-circuit-library-GRX-1.png](/images/api/qiskit/qiskit-circuit-library-GRX-1.png)

**Parameters**
* **num\_qubits** ([*int*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "(in Python v3.13)")) number of qubits.
* **theta** ([*float*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "(in Python v3.13)")) rotation angle about x-axis

QuantumCircuitData
</Attribute>
### global\_phase
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.global_phase">
The global phase of the current circuit scope in radians.
</Attribute>
### instances
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.instances" attributeValue="181" />
### layout
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.layout">
Return any associated layout information about the circuit
This attribute contains an optional [`TranspileLayout`](qiskit.transpiler.TranspileLayout "qiskit.transpiler.TranspileLayout") object. This is typically set on the output from [`transpile()`](compiler#qiskit.compiler.transpile "qiskit.compiler.transpile") or [`PassManager.run()`](qiskit.transpiler.PassManager#run "qiskit.transpiler.PassManager.run") to retain information about the permutations caused on the input circuit by transpilation.
There are two types of permutations caused by the [`transpile()`](compiler#qiskit.compiler.transpile "qiskit.compiler.transpile") function, an initial layout which permutes the qubits based on the selected physical qubits on the [`Target`](qiskit.transpiler.Target "qiskit.transpiler.Target"), and a final layout which is an output permutation caused by [`SwapGate`](qiskit.circuit.library.SwapGate "qiskit.circuit.library.SwapGate")s inserted during routing.
</Attribute>
### metadata
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.metadata">
Arbitrary user-defined metadata for the circuit.
Qiskit will not examine the content of this mapping, but it will pass it through the transpiler and reattach it to the output, so you can track your own metadata.
</Attribute>
### num\_ancillas
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_ancillas">
Return the number of ancilla qubits.
</Attribute>
### num\_captured\_vars
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_captured_vars">
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as captured from an enclosing scope.
This is the length of the `iter_captured_vars()` iterable. If this is non-zero, [`num_input_vars`](#qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_input_vars "qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_input_vars") must be zero.
</Attribute>
### num\_clbits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_clbits">
Return number of classical bits.
</Attribute>
### num\_declared\_vars
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_declared_vars">
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit that are declared by this circuit scope, excluding inputs or captures.
This is the length of the `iter_declared_vars()` iterable.
</Attribute>
### num\_input\_vars
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_input_vars">
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit marked as circuit inputs.
This is the length of the `iter_input_vars()` iterable. If this is non-zero, [`num_captured_vars`](#qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_captured_vars "qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_captured_vars") must be zero.
</Attribute>
### num\_parameters
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_parameters">
The number of parameter objects in the circuit.
</Attribute>
### num\_qubits
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_qubits">
Return number of qubits.
</Attribute>
### num\_vars
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.num_vars">
The number of real-time classical variables in the circuit.
This is the length of the `iter_vars()` iterable.
</Attribute>
### op\_start\_times
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.op_start_times">
Return a list of operation start times.
This attribute is enabled once one of scheduling analysis passes runs on the quantum circuit.
**Returns**
List of integers representing instruction start times. The index corresponds to the index of instruction in `QuantumCircuit.data`.
**Raises**
[**AttributeError**](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#AttributeError "(in Python v3.13)") When circuit is not scheduled.
</Attribute>
### parameters
<Attribute id="qiskit.circuit.library.GRX.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 unintuitive 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
>>> 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])
])
```
**Returns**
The sorted [`Parameter`](qiskit.circuit.Parameter "qiskit.circuit.Parameter") objects in the circuit.
