Linear Algebra - Qubit Operations

Vectors are commonly written in column format. Sometimes, we also use shorthand format such as (3, 4).

In quantum computing, the state |0> corresponds to vector (1, 0), and |1> corresponds to vector (0, 1). 

Commonly used quantum gates, quantum circuit symbols, and math representations: 


The Bloch sphere representation of X (NOT), H (Hadamard), and Z, S, T (phase) gates. 



We can see that 
  • X gate rotates along X axis 180 degree (or less depending on the initial angle to Z axis). (NOT) 
  • H gate rotates along Y  axis 90 degree (or less). 
  • Z, S, T gates rotate along Z axis at certain degree. (phase)
