# XGate
|

|

<Class id="qiskit.circuit.library.XGate" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.20/qiskit/circuit/library/standard_gates/x.py" signature="XGate(label=None)" modifiers="class">
|
||
Bases: `qiskit.circuit.gate.Gate`
|
||
|
||
The single-qubit Pauli-X gate ($\sigma_x$).
|
||
|
||
**Matrix Representation:**
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
\begin{split}X = \begin{pmatrix}
|
||
0 & 1 \\
|
||
1 & 0
|
||
\end{pmatrix}\end{split}
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
**Circuit symbol:**
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
┌───┐
|
||
q_0: ┤ X ├
|
||
└───┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Equivalent to a $\pi$ radian rotation about the X axis.
|
||
|
||
<Admonition title="Note" type="note">
|
||
A global phase difference exists between the definitions of $RX(\pi)$ and $X$.
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
\begin{split}RX(\pi) = \begin{pmatrix}
|
||
0 & -i \\
|
||
-i & 0
|
||
\end{pmatrix}
|
||
= -i X\end{split}
|
||
$$
|
||
</Admonition>
|
||
|
||
The gate is equivalent to a classical bit flip.
|
||
|
||
$$
|
||
\begin{split}|0\rangle \rightarrow |1\rangle \\
|
||
|1\rangle \rightarrow |0\rangle\end{split}
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
Create new X gate.
|
||
|

## Methods Defined Here
|
||
|
||
### control
|
||
|
||
<Function id="qiskit.circuit.library.XGate.control" signature="XGate.control(num_ctrl_qubits=1, label=None, ctrl_state=None)">
|
||
Return a (multi-)controlled-X gate.
|
||
|
||
One control returns a CX gate. Two controls returns a CCX 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**
|
||
|
