Apply the gates from left to right. The first Hadamard gate and the first controlled-NOT gate produce the Bell stateThe parallel gates then produceThe final controlled-NOT has the lower qubit as control; it interchanges and , whose amplitudes here are equal. Thus the output isBy quantum measurement in the computational basis, every basis outcome has probability equal to the squared modulus of its amplitude:
