CX operation
Warning
This documentation refers to the Classic QDK, which has been replaced by the Modern QDK.

Namespace: Microsoft.Quantum.Canon
Package: Microsoft.Quantum.Type3.Core
Applies the controlled-X (CX) gate to a pair of qubits.
operation CX (control : Qubit, target : Qubit) : Unit is Adj + Ctl
Description
This operation can be simulated by the unitary matrix $$ \begin{align} \left(\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{matrix}\right) \end{align}, $$ where rows and columns are organized as in the quantum concepts guide.
Input
control : Qubit
Control qubit for the CX gate.
target : Qubit
Target qubit for the CX gate.
Output : Unit
Remarks
Equivalent to:
Controlled X([control], target);
and to:
CNOT(control, target);
