Write for the controlled unitary gate. For a normalized eigenvector , the first Hadamard gate and quantum phase kickback give
The final Hadamard gate therefore produces the unentangled output
The auxiliary system is unchanged, while its eigenphase becomes accessible through interference of the control qubit. The special unitary group assumption is not needed for this calculation; unitarity and the normalized eigenvector suffice.
