List Of Quantum Logic Gates
In gate-based quantum computing, various sets of quantum logic gates are commonly used to express quantum operations. The following tables lists several unitary quantum logic gates, together with their common name, how they are represented, and some of their properties. Controlled or Hermitian conjugate versions of some of these gates may not be listed. Identity gate and global phase The identity gate is the identity operation I, \psi\rangle=, \psi\rangle, most of the times this gate is not indicated in circuit diagrams, but it is useful when describing mathematical results. It has been described as being a "wait cycle", and a NOP. The global phase gate introduces a global phase e^ to the whole qubit quantum state. A quantum state is uniquely defined up to a phase. Because of the Born rule, a phase factor have no effect on a measurement outcome: , e^, =1 for any \varphi. Because e^, \psi\rangle \otimes , \phi\rangle = e^(, \psi\rangle \otimes , \phi\rangle), when the global ...

Quantum Circuit
In quantum information theory, a quantum circuit is a model for quantum computation, similar to classical circuits, in which a computation is a sequence of quantum gates, measurements, initializations of qubits to known values, and possibly other actions. The minimum set of actions that a circuit needs to be able to perform on the qubits to enable quantum computation is known as DiVincenzo's criteria. Circuits are written such that the horizontal axis is time, starting at the left hand side and ending at the right. Horizontal lines are qubits, doubled lines represent classical bits. The items that are connected by these lines are operations performed on the qubits, such as measurements or gates. These lines define the sequence of events, and are usually not physical cables. The graphical depiction of quantum circuit elements is described using a variant of the Penrose graphical notation. Richard Feynman used an early version of the quantum circuit notation in 1986. Reversible ...

Qubit
In quantum computing, a qubit () or quantum bit is a basic unit of quantum information—the quantum version of the classic binary bit physically realized with a two-state device. A qubit is a two-state (or two-level) quantum-mechanical system, one of the simplest quantum systems displaying the peculiarity of quantum mechanics. Examples include the spin of the electron in which the two levels can be taken as spin up and spin down; or the polarization of a single photon in which the two states can be taken to be the vertical polarization and the horizontal polarization. In a classical system, a bit would have to be in one state or the other. However, quantum mechanics allows the qubit to be in a coherent superposition of both states simultaneously, a property that is fundamental to quantum mechanics and quantum computing. Etymology The coining of the term ''qubit'' is attributed to Benjamin Schumacher. In the acknowledgments of his 1995 paper, Schumacher states that the term ...

Controlled NOT Gate
In computer science, the controlled NOT gate (also C-NOT or CNOT), controlled-''X'' gate'','' controlled-bit-flip gate, Feynman gate or controlled Pauli-X is a quantum logic gate that is an essential component in the construction of a gate-based quantum computer. It can be used to entangle and disentangle Bell states. Any quantum circuit can be simulated to an arbitrary degree of accuracy using a combination of CNOT gates and single qubit rotations. The gate is sometimes named after Richard Feynman who developed an early notation for quantum gate diagrams in 1986. The CNOT can be expressed in the Pauli basis as: : \mbox = e^= e^. Being both unitary and Hermitian, CNOT has the property e^=(\cos \theta)I+(i\sin \theta) U and U =e^=e^, and is involutory. The CNOT gate can be further decomposed as products of rotation operator gates and exactly one two qubit interaction gate, for example : \mbox =e^R_(-\pi/2)R_(-\pi/2)R_(-\pi/2)R_(\pi/2)R_(\pi/2). In general, any s ...

Hadamard Gate
The Hadamard transform (also known as the Walsh–Hadamard transform, Hadamard–Rademacher–Walsh transform, Walsh transform, or Walsh–Fourier transform) is an example of a generalized class of Fourier transforms. It performs an orthogonal, symmetric, involutive, linear operation on real numbers (or complex, or hypercomplex numbers, although the Hadamard matrices themselves are purely real). The Hadamard transform can be regarded as being built out of size-2 discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs), and is in fact equivalent to a multidimensional DFT of size . It decomposes an arbitrary input vector into a superposition of Walsh functions. The transform is named for the French mathematician Jacques Hadamard (), the German-American mathematician Hans Rademacher, and the American mathematician Joseph L. Walsh. Definition The Hadamard transform ''H''''m'' is a 2''m'' × 2''m'' matrix, the Hadamard matrix (scaled by a normalization factor), that transforms 2''m'' re ...

Pauli Group
In physics and mathematics, the Pauli group G_1 on 1 qubit is the 16-element matrix group consisting of the 2 × 2 identity matrix I and all of the Pauli matrices :X = \sigma_1 = \begin 0&1\\ 1&0 \end,\quad Y = \sigma_2 = \begin 0&-i\\ i&0 \end,\quad Z = \sigma_3 = \begin 1&0\\ 0&-1 \end, together with the products of these matrices with the factors \pm 1 and \pm i: :G_1 \ \stackrel\ \ \equiv \langle X, Y, Z \rangle. The Pauli group is generated by the Pauli matrices, and like them it is named after Wolfgang Pauli. The Pauli group on n qubits, G_n, is the group generated by the operators described above applied to each of n qubits in the tensor product Hilbert space (\mathbb^2)^. As an abstract group, G_1\cong C_4 \circ D_4 is the central product of a cyclic group of order 4 and the dihedral group of order 8.Pauli group oGroupNames/ref> The Pauli group is a representation of the gamma group Gamma Group is an Anglo-German technology company that sells su ...
