Ry operation

Namespace: Microsoft.Quantum.Intrinsic

operation Ry(theta : Double, qubit : Qubit) : Unit is Adj + Ctl

Summary

Applies a rotation about the y-axis by a given angle.

Input

theta

Angle about which the qubit is to be rotated.

qubit

Qubit to which the gate should be applied.

Remarks

$$ \begin{align} R_y(\theta) \mathrel{:=} e^{-i \theta \sigma_y / 2} = \begin{bmatrix} \cos \frac{\theta}{2} & -\sin \frac{\theta}{2} \\ \sin \frac{\theta}{2} & \cos \frac{\theta}{2} \end{bmatrix}. \end{align} $$

Equivalent to:

R(PauliY, theta, qubit);
