I know that I can just use the $RZ$ gate to replace the $PH$ phase gate. But I need a way to implement the controlled phase gate $C-PH$ this cannot just be replaced with a $CRZ$ gate.

    $\begingroup$ to do an $RZ$ on google cirq I can use cirq.ops.common_gates.Rz. I didn't find any way to do a phase gate on google cirq, so I just replaced all of my phase gates into $RZ$ gates. Now that I have controlled phase gates, I don't know how to implement that on google cirq because even though an RZ does the same as a Phase gate, the controlled version don't, because the controlled version of a gate does change with global phase shifts. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Can you not compensate with RZ on each of the two qubits? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I could, but I came here to find the minimal amount of gate, or some kind of workaround like if it was possible to define my own abstract gate in google cirq. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ the documentation mentions circ.CZ, and the possibility to use it to do things like cirq.CZ**t $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$

cirq.ZPowGate(exponent=t/pi).controlled_by(control_qubit).on(target_qubit)

or equivalently

cirq.CZ(control_qubit, target_qubit)**(t / pi)
