The gate set is universal. Since the Hadamard gate satisfies and , the supplied is a unitary operator, andTwo applications of therefore realize a Hadamard gate up to a global phase. Together with the supplied controlled-NOT gate and T gate, this simulates the given universal quantum gate set.
An exact matrix representative of can also be synthesized if desired. Put and . Direct multiplication gives , henceThis finite product uses only and , so the conclusion does not rely on discarding a global phase.
