Can a CNOT Gate Affect the Control Qubit? Student Resources for Understanding CNOT and Entanglement
Jonan-Rohi S. Plueger, Bethany R. Wilcox, Steven J. Pollock +1
The Controlled-Not (CNOT) gate is essential to algorithms in quantum computing for its ability to entangle qubits. As such, it is important to understand how students learning quan…
