Quantum Gates and Circuits

arXiv:quant-ph/9705009 · doi:10.1098/rspa.1998.0159

Abstract

A historical review is given of the emergence of the idea of the quantum logic gate from the theory of reversible Boolean gates. I highlight the quantum XOR or controlled NOT as the fundamental two-bit gate for quantum computation. This gate plays a central role in networks for quantum error correction.
