Drawing a line through a box in tikz

I'm using Quantikz to draw a multiqubit gate without targeting some qubits.



I have never used tikz before and wonder if there is an easy way to get the desired output like this.



The idea is to represent quantum gates between specific qubits as shown above, where J13 does not affect qubit 2 (middle). I would like to have a quantum wire going above the J13 box.



I think the easiest solution would be to make the quantum wire command qw draw above the boxes by default.



For the attached picture, I added dashes to the gate, but they have the wrong thickness, and this will need readjustment every time I widen the size of the box.



begin{tikzcd}
& gate[wires=2]{J_{12}} & gate[wires=3]{J_{13}} & qw & qw \
& & gateinput{------}gateoutput{------} & gate[wires=2]{J_{23}} & qw \
& qw & & & qw
end{tikzcd}


A more complicated solution might be to write a command targeting specific qubits for this kind of boxed gates.



Any recommendation or solution?

    Welcome to TeX.SX. There are many ways in which the above figure can be drawn. But it would be better if you can provide a minimal working example of what you have tried so that folks here can help you finish it.
