Tutorial B: More Single Qubit Gates¶
In this short tutorial, we’ll cover more quantum gates.
Objectives:¶
to apply the two other Pauli Gates.
to apply gates with parameters and other phase gates.

In Tutorial A, we covered only two: the X gate and the Hadamard gate. There are more quantum gates to explore, so let’s go through a few ones now.
1. Pauli Gates¶
The X gate is grouped with two other gates, namely the Y gate and the Z gate. Together with the Identity operator, these are called Pauli gates. We will test these out now.
ycircuit=QuantumCircuit(1)
ycircuit.y(0)
ycircuit.draw(output='mpl')
Above, we’ve created a quantum circuit with a Y gate. Let’s visualize what happens.
