Name: General single-qubit gates
Uploaded: 2010-11-23
Description: Go beyond one named gate. Michael Nielsen develops the description of general single-qubit gates in a short mathematical lesson. It sits between basic examples and a broader account of computation, helping learners connect specific circuit symbols with the transformations those symbols represent.
