There is no fundamental
difference
between them,
a
quantum algorithm
is
a
quantum circuit
, which can be seen
as
a
super complicated
quantum gate
.
Perhaps the greats practical
difference
is that
algorithms
tend to be defined for an arbitrary
number
of
N
qubits
,
i
.e.
as
a
function
for that each
N
produces
a
specific
quantum circuit
with
N
qubits
solving the problem. Most named gates on the other hand have fixed small
sizes
.
