Packet 6: Bonus 20
A circuit consisting of this gate and the Hadamard gate is used to generate a Bell state from two 0 qubits. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this quantum gate that, along with the Hadamard, S, and CZ gates, generates the Clifford gates.
ANSWER: Controlled-X gate [or CX gate or C-NOT gate or Controlled-NOT gate; reject “NOT (gate)”]
[10h] A shared Bell pair is needed to implement this procedure, often used alongside magic state distillation. This procedure is essentially the opposite of superdense coding.
ANSWER: quantum gate teleportation [accept quantum teleportation]
[10e] The Bell state has the maximal form of this property, meaning that its qubits are correlated even when separated at a distance.
ANSWER: quantum entanglement
