[–] erikb 13y ago ↗ It would be great if the functions were documented in a way to show what these gates do and why they exist anyway. Not everybody has some pre education on quantum computing, right? [–] jpwagner 13y ago ↗ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-435j-quantum-compu... [–] jtauber 13y ago ↗ That presupposes I understand them :-)My coding followed a specific talk which didn't go at all into why these particular gates are useful.Once I grok that, I'll improve the code.

[–] Bakkot 13y ago ↗ Hasn't SymPy done this for a while?http://docs.sympy.org/0.7.2-py3k/modules/physics/quantum/ind...
