In the docstring for the FSimGate, the unitary is reported to be:
However, the actual unitary produced by the gate is slightly different. Specifically, the term
cis exp(-1j*phi). The snippet below demonstrates:The snippet reports that the value of
cis0.8660-0.5000jwhile the documentation indicates it should be0.8660+0.5000j.I believe the gate definition is correct and the documentation is wrong for the following reasons:
FSimGate(θ, φ) = ISWAP**(-2θ/π) CZPowGate(exponent=-φ/π)which is consistent with c=exp(-i*φ).Thus, this MR modifies the docstring to reflect the unitary produced by the gate.
