(1.1) The probability of measuring if the state of a qubit is
is exactly
In the same way, the probability of measuring is also
. If the state of the qubit is
, the probability of measuring
is and the probability of measuring
is
Finally, if the qubit state is , the probability of measuring
is and the probability of measuring
is
(1.2) The inner product of and
is
The inner product of and
is
(1.3) The adjoint of is
itself and it holds that
. Hence,
is unitary and its inverse is
itself. The operation
takes
to
.
(1.4) The adjoint of is
itself and it holds that
. Hence,
is unitary and its inverse is
itself. The operation
takes
to
and
to
. Finally, it holds that
and that
.
(1.5) It holds that and that It also holds that
(1.6) Since , it is apparent that
. Also, we have
by Euler’s identity, so
. As a consequence,
, so
. Also,
, and it follows that
.
