Quantum Gate

Rotate about X

\begin{bmatrix}\cos\left(\frac{ θ}{2}\right)&- i\cdot\sin\left(\frac{ θ}{2}\right)\\- i\cdot\sin\left(\frac{ θ}{2}\right)&\cos\left(\frac{ θ}{2}\right)\end{bmatrix}

RX Gate

This gate applies a rotation of radians about the -axis to a single qubit.

It can also be defined by:

where is the Pauli X gate.

Parameters

: Angle to rotate the state by, in radians.
