Both elementary quantum interference devices are universal in the sense that every unitary
quantum evolution operator in twodimensional Hilbert space can be brought into a one-to-one
correspondence to Tbs and TMZ; with corresponding values of T,α,β,ϕ or α,ω,β,ϕ. This can

be easily seen by a similar calculation as before; i.e., by comparing equations (94) (103) with the

Let us examine the realization of a few primitive logical “gates” corresponding to (unitary)
unary operations on qbits. The “identity” element I is defined by 0 0, 1 1 and can be

The “not” element is defined by 0 1, 1 0 and can be realized by

The next element, “√not” is a truly quantum mechanical; i.e., nonclassical, one, since it
converts a classical bit into a coherent superposition of 0 and 1. √not is defined by 0 0+1,
1 0+1 and can be realized by

Note that √not √not=not diag(1, 1)=not(mod1). The relative phases in the output ports

showing up in diag(1, 1) can be avoided by defining

With this definition, √not′√not′ =not.
It is very important that the elementary quantum interference device realizes an arbitrary
quantumtimeevolutionofatwodimensionalsystem. Theperformanceofthequantuminterference
device is determined by four parameters, corresponding to the phases α,β,ϕ,ω.
