What is a quantum gate?

  1. A logical operation that can be performed on a quantum bit.

  2. A physical device that implements a quantum gate.

  3. A mathematical representation of a quantum gate.

  4. A type of quantum circuit.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A quantum gate is a logical operation that can be performed on a quantum bit, or qubit. Quantum gates are the building blocks of quantum circuits, and they are used to perform operations such as rotations, reflections, and measurements.

What is the most common type of quantum gate?

Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Hadamard gate is the most common type of quantum gate. It is a single-qubit gate that rotates the qubit by 90 degrees around the Bloch sphere.

What is the CNOT gate?

  1. A two-qubit gate that flips the target qubit if the control qubit is in the (|1\rangle) state.

  2. A two-qubit gate that flips the control qubit if the target qubit is in the (|1\rangle) state.

  3. A two-qubit gate that swaps the states of the two qubits.

  4. A two-qubit gate that measures the states of the two qubits.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The CNOT gate is a two-qubit gate that flips the target qubit if the control qubit is in the (|1\rangle) state. It is also known as the controlled-NOT gate.

What is the Toffoli gate?

  1. A three-qubit gate that flips the target qubit if the two control qubits are both in the (|1\rangle) state.

  2. A three-qubit gate that flips the control qubits if the target qubit is in the (|1\rangle) state.

  3. A three-qubit gate that swaps the states of the three qubits.

  4. A three-qubit gate that measures the states of the three qubits.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Toffoli gate is a three-qubit gate that flips the target qubit if the two control qubits are both in the (|1\rangle) state. It is also known as the controlled-controlled-NOT gate.

What is the SWAP gate?
