dq.cd_gate 

cd_gate(dim: int, alpha: ArrayLike) -> Array

Returns a conditional displacement gate.

The conditional displacement (CD) gate displaces an oscillator conditioned on the state of a coupled two-level system (TLS) state. It is defined by $$ \mathrm{CD}(\alpha) = D(\alpha/2)\ket{g}\bra{g} + D(-\alpha/2)\ket{e}\bra{e}, $$ where \(\ket{g}=\ket0\) and \(\ket{e}=\ket1\) are the ground and excited states of the TLS, respectively.

Parameters

  • dim –

    Dimension of the oscillator Hilbert space.

  • alpha (array_like of shape (...)) –

    Displacement amplitude.

Returns

(array of shape (..., n, n)) CD gate operator (acting on the oscillator + TLS system of dimension n = 2 x dim).
