Quantum Gates

Quantum Gates of One Qubit

There are only two reversible gates, also identity (return the input unchanged) and NOT (return the opposite of the input), but neither is universal.

Identity gate.

Pauli X gate. $\sigma _{x}=X={\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}}=|0\rangle \langle 1|+|1\rangle \langle 0|$

Pauli Y gate $\sigma _{y}=Y={\begin{bmatrix}0&-i\\i&0\end{bmatrix}}=-i|0\rangle \langle 1|+i|1\rangle \langle 0|$
