Universal Gate Set

Advanced Gates
A set of quantum gates sufficient to approximate any quantum operation to arbitrary precision.

📖 In-Depth Explanation

A common universal gate set is {H, T, CNOT} or {H, S, T, CNOT}. Any quantum algorithm can be compiled to use only these gates. Photonic systems implement universal gate sets using interferometers and phase shifters.
