"""A gate with a known eigendecomposition.
EigenGate is particularly useful when one wishes for different parts of
the same eigenspace to be extrapolated differently. For example, if a gate
has a 2-dimensional eigenspace with eigenvalue -1, but one wishes for the
square root of the gate to split this eigenspace into a part with
eigenvalue i and a part with eigenvalue -i, then EigenGate allows this
functionality to be unambiguously specified via the _eigen_components
method.

"""Initializes the parameters used to compute the gate's matrix.
The eigenvalue of each eigenspace of a gate is computed by
1. Starting with an angle in half turns as returned by the gate's
``_eigen_components`` method:
θ
2. Shifting the angle by `global_shift`:
θ + s
3. Scaling the angle by `exponent`:
(θ + s) * e
4. Converting from half turns to a complex number on the unit circle:
exp(i * pi * (θ + s) * e)
Args:
exponent: The t in gate**t. Determines how much the eigenvalues of
the gate are scaled by. For example, eigenvectors phased by -1
when `gate**1` is applied will gain a relative phase of
e^{i pi exponent} when `gate**exponent` is applied (relative to
eigenvectors unaffected by `gate**1`).
global_shift: Offsets the eigenvalues of the gate at exponent=1.
In effect, this controls a global phase factor on the gate's
unitary matrix. The factor is:
exp(i * pi * global_shift * exponent)
For example, `cirq.X**t` uses a `global_shift` of 0 but
`cirq.Rx(t)` uses a `global_shift` of -0.5, which is why
`cirq.unitary(cirq.Rx(pi))` equals -iX instead of X.

instead of the relative period (e.g. for when printing Rx(rads) style

different text) set 'ignore_global_phase' to False.

The choice between -0.5 and +1.5 does not affect the gate's
