qrisp.qaoa.RX_mixer#

RX_mixer(qv, beta)[source]#

Applies an RX gate to each qubit in qv.

The RX gate is a single-qubit rotation about the x-axis. It is used as a mixer in QAOA to drive transitions between different states.

Parameters:
qvQuantumVariable

The quantum variable to which the RX gate is applied.

betafloat or sympy.Symbol

The phase shift value for the RX gate.

Returns:
qvQuantumVariable

The quantum variable after applying the RX gate.
