Represent Hadamard gate in terms of rotations and reflections in Bloch sphere

I read in a book that any single qubit operation can be decomposed as $$ \bf{U} =e^{i\gamma}\begin{pmatrix}e^{-i\phi/2}&0\\ 0&e^{i\phi/2}\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}\cos{\theta/2}&-\sin{\...

How to eliminate the global phase of a state vector?

Say that I have a qubit that began in the $|0\rangle$ state and then the Hadamard gate is applied, resulting in the following state: $ \begin{bmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{...

Decomposing Hadamard gate

I'm following a lesson, and it says that the Hadamard gate can be decomposed to three gates: RZ(pi/2), squared root Z, and RZ(pi/2). However, when I do matrix multiplication of these three matrices, I ...

How do you write the Hadamard operator on two qubits in braket notation?

I understand how to write the Hadamard operator on one qubit in braket notation using $$\newcommand\bra[1]{\left\langle#1\right|}\newcommand\ket[1]{\left|#1\right\rangle} H=\sum_{i,j} \bra{w_{j}}H\ket{...

How do you represent a Hadamard gate as a product of $R_x$ and $R_y$ gates?

I'm looking for a representation of Hadamard gate that uses only $R_x(x)$ and $R_y(y)$ gates. The values $x$ and $y$ may be the same, but they don't necessarily need to be.

Is the tensor product of 2 Hadamard gates entangled?

Assume that you have a system of two qubits in the state $|11 \rangle$. Apply $H \otimes H$, where $H$ is the Hadamard matrix. Is the state $(H \otimes H)|11\rangle$ entangled? I know if we take the ...
