Controlled NOT gateIn computer science, the controlled NOT gate (also C-NOT or CNOT), controlled-X gate, controlled-bit-flip gate, Feynman gate or controlled Pauli-X is a quantum logic gate that is an essential component in the construction of a gate-based quantum computer. It can be used to entangle and disentangle Bell states. Any quantum circuit can be simulated to an arbitrary degree of accuracy using a combination of CNOT gates and single qubit rotations. The gate is sometimes named after Richard Feynman who developed an early notation for quantum gate diagrams in 1986.
Porte de ToffoliEn informatique, la porte de Toffoli, est une porte logique. Elle est réversible et universelle, ce qui signifie que n'importe quel circuit réversible peut être construit à partir de portes de Toffoli. Elle agit comme une porte NON à double contrôle, d'où le nom qu'on lui donne également de « controlled-controlled-not gate » (CCNOT). Elle est due à Tommaso Toffoli. 150px|vignette|Représentation d'une porte de Toffoli La porte de Toffoli est une porte logique à 3 bits en entrée et 3 bits en sortie.
Functional completenessIn logic, a functionally complete set of logical connectives or Boolean operators is one which can be used to express all possible truth tables by combining members of the set into a Boolean expression. A well-known complete set of connectives is { AND, NOT }. Each of the singleton sets { NAND } and { NOR } is functionally complete. However, the set { AND, OR } is incomplete, due to its inability to express NOT. A gate or set of gates which is functionally complete can also be called a universal gate / gates.
Fredkin gateThe Fredkin gate (also CSWAP gate and conservative logic gate) is a computational circuit suitable for reversible computing, invented by Edward Fredkin. It is universal, which means that any logical or arithmetic operation can be constructed entirely of Fredkin gates. The Fredkin gate is a circuit or device with three inputs and three outputs that transmits the first bit unchanged and swaps the last two bits if, and only if, the first bit is 1. The basic Fredkin gate is a controlled swap gate that maps three inputs (C, I1, I2) onto three outputs (C, O1, O2).
Quantum circuitIn quantum information theory, a quantum circuit is a model for quantum computation, similar to classical circuits, in which a computation is a sequence of quantum gates, measurements, initializations of qubits to known values, and possibly other actions. The minimum set of actions that a circuit needs to be able to perform on the qubits to enable quantum computation is known as DiVincenzo's criteria. Circuits are written such that the horizontal axis is time, starting at the left hand side and ending at the right.
Porte quantiqueEn informatique quantique, et plus précisément dans le modèle de de calcul, une porte quantique (ou porte logique quantique) est un circuit quantique élémentaire opérant sur un petit nombre de qubits. Les portes quantiques sont les briques de base des circuits quantiques, comme le sont les portes logiques classiques pour des circuits numériques classiques. Contrairement à de nombreuses portes logiques classiques, les portes logiques quantique sont « réversibles ».
