CNOT operation

Fully qualified name: Std.Intrinsic.CNOT

operation CNOT(control : Qubit, target : Qubit) : Unit is Adj + Ctl

Summary

Applies the controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate to a pair of qubits.

Input

control

Control qubit for the CNOT gate.

target

Target qubit for the CNOT gate.

Remarks

$$ \begin{align} \operatorname{CNOT} \mathrel{:=} \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix}, \end{align} $$

where rows and columns are ordered as in the quantum concepts guide.

Equivalent to:

Controlled X([control], target);
