Write , , . The specified diagonal two-qubit gate has the exact factorization
Thus one exact implementation is to set the controllable Ising coupling to zero and perform the two local rotations about the z-axis, synthesized from the available pulses as in part (c). Alternatively, turn off the local fields and choose the interaction area . Then
which implements the same physical gate up to global phase. The printed gate is local, not entangling; the pulse construction does not change that fact.
