Creates a new gate from scratch.

Get arity of the gate (based on Qubits or Mat/Kraus size).

Whether or not the gate cache is disabled. The cache is used if this property is false. The cache should be disabled if gates are being built in parallel.

The drawing instructions for this gate.

The help string for this gate.

The Kraus operator matrix list for this gate (if op type is Channel). If the gate is not a channel, this will be an empty list.

The unitary matrix for this gate. If the gate is not defined by a single unitary, this will be a 0x0 matrix.

The name of this gate.

This gate's operation.

This gate's parent, if any.

The arity of this gate; that is, the number of qubits the gate operates on.

The user info associated with this gate, if any.

Creates a new gate by adding one or more control qubits to an existing unitary gate.

Gets the definition of a gate, using the cache. If the gate is already in the cache, the cached definition is returned. Otherwise, a new gate will be created, added to the cache, and returned.

Clears out the gate cache.

Gets gate cache statistics.

Dumps the full gate information to the consol and/or log.

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

Makes a new gate based on this gate but with new unitary matrix.

Optimze a Channel gate with Kraus operators (checks correctness and orders by magnitude)

Run this gate. The details depend on the current value of Ket.Mode:

• RunMode: Apply this gate operation to the supplied qubits.
• GateMode: Stores this gate definition into the current Ket. This is for internal use.
• CircMode: Compiles this gate into a Circuit. This is for internal use.

Outputs memory and garbage collection statistics to the log and console.

Outputs memory and garbage collection statistics to the log and console.

Returns a string representation of this gate, based on the gate's name, help string, and type.
