Double CX
Symbol
$\mathrm{DC}X$
Description:
Two back-to-back CNOTs with alternating control and target qubits.
Alternate notations:
- $\mathrm{DCNOT}$
The DCNOT gate applies a CNOT from qubit 1 to 2 and then a CNOT from qubit 2 to 1.
$$ \mathrm{DC}X = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \end{bmatrix} $$
Properties
- A two-qubit Clifford gate built from two CNOTs.
- Not symmetric under permuatation of qubits.
Groups
