Interface for the Fredkin operation, which is a controlled swap. Direct
implementations of this interface should be named OperationFredkin.

Members| All Members | Methods | ||||
| Icon | Member | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Clone()()() |
Return a clone (deep copy) of the current operation. This operation returned can be modified
without any impact to this object. Unlike quantum registers, quantum operations cannot be
in superposition- hence a clone of them does not violate the no-cloning theorem.
|
| Combine(IQuantumOperation) |
Combine two same sized operations into one.
(Inherited from IQuantumOperation.) |
| GetControlIndex()()() |
Get the index of the control qubit when this operation is applied.
|
| GetFirstSwapIndex()()() |
Get the index of the first qubit in the register to swap when this operation is applied.
|
| GetOperationAndTargets()()() |
Get a string that shows the operations name and target. An example might
be something like "CNOT: Control = 0, Target = 2".
(Inherited from IQuantumOperation.) |
| GetSecondSwapIndex()()() |
Get the index of the second qubit in the register to swap when this operation is applied.
|
| IsValidOperation()()() |
Is this a valid quantum operation? All quantum operations must be unitary,
so this allows for all operations to be checked before they are applied to
registers.
(Inherited from IQuantumOperation.) |
| NumberOfQubitsOperatesOn()()() |
Returns the number of qubits that the operation operates on. For example
a CNot operation would return 2 since there are two qubits, target and control.
(Inherited from IQuantumOperation.) |
| SetIndexes(Int32, Int32, Int32) |
Set the indexes of qubits in a register when this operation is applied.
|
| Tensor(IQuantumOperation) |
Tensor two operations into one combined one.
(Inherited from IQuantumOperation.) |
| ToString()()() |
Get the string representation of the object
(Inherited from ICoveObject.) |
