# qiskit.extensions.Initialize
<Class id="qiskit.extensions.Initialize" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.17/qiskit/extensions/quantum_initializer/initializer.py" signature="Initialize(params, num_qubits=None)" modifiers="class">
Complex amplitude initialization.
Class that implements the (complex amplitude) initialization of some flexible collection of qubit registers. Note that Initialize is an Instruction and not a Gate since it contains a reset instruction, which is not unitary.
Create new initialize composite.
**params (str, list, int or Statevector):**
* Statevector: Statevector to initialize to.
* list: vector of complex amplitudes to initialize to.
* **string: labels of basis states of the Pauli eigenstates Z, X, Y. See**
`from_label()`. Notice the order of the labels is reversed with respect to the qubit index to be applied to. Example label 01 initializes the qubit zero to |1> and the qubit one to |0>.
* **int: an integer that is used as a bitmap indicating which qubits to initialize**
to |1>. Example: setting params to 5 would initialize qubit 0 and qubit 2 to |1> and qubit 1 to |0>.
**num\_qubits (int): This parameter is only used if params is an int. Indicates the total**
number of qubits in the initialize call. Example: initialize covers 5 qubits and params is 3. This allows qubits 0 and 1 to be initialized to |1> and the remaining 3 qubits to be initialized to |0>.
