ii
Here H2=I. Both remaining gates fix the all-zero computational vector: the T gate fixes ∣0⟩, and the controlled-NOT gate fixes ∣00⟩. Therefore every finite circuit, on any number of initially zero wires, leaves ∣0⋯0⟩ unchanged.
It cannot even approximate ∣+⟩⊗∣0⋯0⟩, whose squared overlap with that unchanged vector is 1/2. Thus the gate set is not universal. The needed quantum superposition cannot be created from this input by basis permutations and diagonal phases alone.
