Summary
The
add_control
mechanism currently does some redundant unrolling and re-wrapping of gates that are already in the basis of gates we know how to control. This has knock-on effects and causes #13473, by translating an RZ operation (already supported) to a Phase gate.This PR avoids this unrolling. As discussed with @alexanderivrii, in the longer term we should consider rewriting this logic entirely and have a controlled gate plugin, which also allows users to supply their own control mechanism.
