Summary

We have covered multi-qubit gates and used them to construct quantum circuits, and then we moved on to teleportation and superdense coding using the Silq language. By now, you will have gained a thorough understanding of the practical implementation of entanglement and the thinking process behind making complex circuits such as ones for the teleportation protocol. The Silq-based circuit implementation skills that you gained here will be helpful in the upcoming chapters where you will be implementing various basic and advanced quantum algorithms.

From the next chapter, we will start discussing useful quantum algorithms that have been utilized for various applications, such as cryptography and finance.
