.. currentmodule:: dc_qiskit_qml.distance_based.hadamard.state.cnot._CCXFactory
This class is the abstract base class for the multiple-controlled X-gates (short ccx) that are primarily used
for binary input data of the classifier.

"""
This method applies to a quantum circuit on the control qubits the desired controlled operation on the target
if the quantum state coincides with the (binary representation of the) conditional case.
This abstract method must be implemented in order to be used by the
:py:class:`_QmlUniformAmplitudeStateCircuitBuilder` and so that the correct state for the classifier can be
applied.
:param qc: the circuit to apply this operation to
:param conditial_case: an integer whose binary representation signifies the branch to controll on
:param control_qubits: the qubits that hold the desired conditional case
:param tgt: the target to be applied the controlled X gate on
:return: the circuit after application of the gate
