Now we look at circuits constructed with what we looked at. These systems will consist of qubits $\in \mathbb{C}^2$ . A very simple example for a quantum circuit, now using pictures instead of formulas: ![[Pasted image 20260730091827.png]] Here we have two wires 0 and +. First we apply the unitaries X and H to the wires, written as $X \otimes H$. Then we apply the unitary U to both qubits (wires) . Finally we apply H to the second wire again, because we don't do anything with the top wire, we apply the identity to it so $I \otimes H$ Last but not least we measure the top wire. ## Important gates We distinguish between gates on single qubits and gates on multiple qubits. We will introduce some of the more important ones: ### Single qubit gates ![[Pasted image 20260730092306.png]] The Identity matrix to not change a qubit. ![[Pasted image 20260730092336.png]] Pauli matrices. X is also called Bit-flip. ![[Pasted image 20260730092409.png]] The Hadamard-gate transforms a classical bit $\begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}$ and transforms it into a superposition $\begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix}$ ### The CNOT Gate The controlled-NOT gate operates on two qubits.: ![[Pasted image 20260730092639.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260730092648.png]] ## Teleportation An Example quantum circuit: ![[Pasted image 20260730092802.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260730092809.png]] ![[Pasted image 20260730092817.png]]
