  • Article

Fully qualified name: Std.Canon.ApplyCNOTChain

operation ApplyCNOTChain(qubits : Qubit[]) : Unit is Adj + Ctl

Summary

Computes the parity of a register of qubits in-place.

Input

qubits

Array of qubits whose parity is to be computed and stored.

Remarks

This operation transforms the state of its input as $$ \begin{align} \ket{q_0} \ket{q_1} \cdots \ket{q_{n - 1}} & \mapsto \ket{q_0} \ket{q_0 \oplus q_1} \ket{q_0 \oplus q_1 \oplus q_2} \cdots \ket{q_0 \oplus \cdots \oplus q_{n - 1}}. \end{align} $$
