We introduce an infinite family of universal quantum logic gates that includes not only higher-dimensional versions of the usual SWAP and $\mathbf{i}$SWAP gates, but also their previously known extensions. This family consists of permutation-like matrices with nonzero entries of the form $e^{\mathbf{i}\alpha_i}$, where the $\alpha_i$ are arbitrary real numbers. Moreover, we show that these gates, which we refer to as $\alpha SWAP$, provide unitary solutions to the constant Yang--Baxter equation in all dimensions.
