-        In Qiskit's convention, higher qubit indices are more significant
-        (little endian convention). In the above example we apply the gate
-        on (q_0, q_1) which results in adding the (optional) phase defined
-        by :math:`\beta` on q_1. Instead, if we apply it on (q_1, q_0), the
-        phase is added on q_0. If :math:`\beta` is set to its default value
-        of :math:`0`, the gate is equivalent in big and little endian.
