Controlled Phase
Symbol
$\mathrm{C}P(\phi)$
Description:
Applies a phase $\mathrm{e}^{i\phi}$ to $|11\rangle$ and leaves other basis states unchanged.
Alternate notations:
- $\mathrm{CPhase}(\phi)$
The controlled-phase gate is a two-qubit diagonal gate that adds a phase to the $|11\rangle$ component.
$$ \mathrm{C}P(\phi) = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \mathrm{e}^{i\phi} \end{bmatrix} $$
Properties
- Diagonal and symmetric under qubit exchange.
- Clifford when $\phi$ is a multiple of $\pi/2$.
- Related to controlled-$Z$ at $\phi = \pi$.
Usage
- Phase-kickback in algorithms and controlled phase rotations.
- Building block for QFT and diagonal unitaries.
