The Hadamard gate conjugates the Pauli X gate into the Pauli Z gate:When the control qubit is , all three circuits act as the identity on the target. When it is , the right-hand circuit acts on the target as . It therefore agrees with the Controlled-Z gate on every computational basis state, provingConjugating both sides by and using immediately gives the reverse identity
