Pauli X Gate (X Gate)

Definition, Action, Matrix form, Operation, Bloch Sphere action | Quantum gates

The Pauli‒X gate is a single‒qubit quantum gate that flips the state of a qubit, acting like a quantum NOT gate. It transforms |0> to |1> and |1> to |0>.

PAULI ‒ X GATE (X GATE)

Definition

The Pauli‒X gate is a single‒qubit quantum gate that flips the state of a qubit, acting like a quantum NOT gate. It transforms |0> to |1> and |1> to |0>.

Action

(1) Acts like a NOT gate on a qubit

(ii) Flips |0> ↔|1>

Matrix form

The matrix for the X gate is the same as Pauli matrix σx and can be written as


Operation

 X |0> = |1>

 X |1> = |0>

X gate is also called bit‒flip because it inverts each input bit.

Bloch Sphere action

Rotation by π radians (180°) around the X‒axis
