Abstract
• A small set of gates (e.g. AND , OR , NOT ) can be used to compute an arbitrary classical function. We say that such a set of gates is universal for classical computation. • Any unitary operation can be approximated to arbitrary accuracy using Hadamard, phase,CNOT , and π/8 gates. You may wonder why the phase gate appears in this list, since it can be constructed from two π/8 gates; it is included because of its natural role in the fault-tolerant constructions
