+
+        This is typically used for virtual z-rotations.
+
+        Note:
+            The fixed point format of QUA variables of type fixed is 4.28, meaning the
+            phase must be between $-8$ and $8-2^{28}$. Otherwise the phase value will be
+            invalid. It is therefore better to use `frame_rotation_2pi()` which avoids
+            this issue.
+
+        Note:
+            The phase is accumulated with a resolution of 16 bit.
+            Therefore, *N* changes to the phase can result in a phase (and amplitude)
+            inaccuracy of about :math:`N \cdot 2^{-16}`. To null out this accumulated
+            error, it is recommended to use `reset_frame(el)` from time to time.
+
+        Args:
+            angle (Union[float, QUA variable of type fixed]): The angle to
+                add to the current phase (in radians)
+            *elements (str): a single element whose oscillator's phase will
+                be shifted. multiple elements can be given, in which case
+                all of their oscillators' phases will be shifted
