3 Universal families of observables
There exist two types of quantum computation universalities:

– AfamilyF ofoperators(unitarytransformationsormeasurements)isquan-
tumuniversal iffforalloperatorO,thereexistsacombination(compositions
and tensor products) of some elements of F which simulates O.
– A family F of operators is approximatively quantum universal iff for all
operatorO andforallǫ>0,thereexistsanoperatorO andacombination
1 2
of some elements of F which simulates O , with ||O −O ||≤ǫ.

Since the family of unitary transformations F = {H,HT,CNot} is ap-
0
proximatively quantum universal [5,1], the family of observables F = {Z ⊗
1
X,X,Z,X Y} is also approximatively quantum universal[6]. The approximate
√−
2
quantum universality of F is based on the ability to simulate each element of
1
F using elements of F only (see fig. 4, 6 and 7).

Theorem 1. The family of observables F ={Z⊗X,Z,cos(θ)X+sin(θ)Y,θ ∈
2
[0 2π]} is quantum universal.
Proof. Since the family of unitary transformations F = {CNot}∪U (where
3 1
U is the set of all one-qubit unitary transformations)is quantum universal,the
1
quantum universality of F is reduced to the simulation of each element of F .

The proof consists in exhibiting a step of simulation (i.e. a simulation up to a
Paulioperator)of eachoperatorof F . The stages of correction,omitted in this
3
proof, are presented in [6] for F .

A step of simulation of CNot is presented in figure 7. For a given U ∈ U ,
1
U can be decomposed into three successive elementary rotations about the zˆ, xˆ
and zˆ axes in the Bloch sphere. The elementary rotation R can be expressed
using an elementary rotation R and the Hadamard transformation H:
∀ϕ,R (ϕ)=HR (ϕ)H.

Thus for all one-qubit unitary transformation U, there exist ϕ ,ϕ ,ϕ such

that U =R (ϕ )HR (ϕ )HR (ϕ ), where

So U can be decomposed into 4 operators:
U = (H)(HR (ϕ ))(HR (ϕ ))(HR (ϕ ))

Thus the simulation of any one-qubit unitary transformationcan be decom-
posedintofourunitarytransformationssuchthateachoftheseunitarytransfor-
mations can be simulated using only observables of F . Therefore the family of
