Editing Quantum logic gate (section)

== History ==
The current notation for quantum gates was developed by many of the founders of [[quantum information science]] including Adriano Barenco, [[Charles H. Bennett (physicist)|Charles Bennett]], [[Richard Cleve]], [[David P. DiVincenzo]], [[Norman Margolus]], [[Peter Shor]], Tycho Sleator, [[John A. Smolin]], and Harald Weinfurter,<ref name="Barenco">{{cite journal | last1=Barenco | first1=Adriano | last2=Bennett | first2=Charles H. | last3=Cleve | first3=Richard | last4=DiVincenzo | first4=David P. | last5=Margolus | first5=Norman | last6=Shor | first6=Peter | last7=Sleator | first7=Tycho | last8=Smolin | first8=John A. | last9=Weinfurter | first9=Harald | title=Elementary gates for quantum computation | journal=[[Physical Review A]] | publisher=American Physical Society (APS) | volume=52 | issue=5 | date=1995-11-01 | issn=1050-2947 | doi=10.1103/physreva.52.3457 | pages=3457–3467| pmid=9912645 |arxiv=quant-ph/9503016| bibcode=1995PhRvA..52.3457B | s2cid=8764584 }}</ref> building on notation introduced by [[Richard Feynman]] in 1986.<ref name="Feynman-QMC">{{cite journal | last=Feynman | first=Richard P. | title=Quantum mechanical computers | journal=[[Foundations of Physics]] | publisher=Springer Science and Business Media LLC | volume=16 | issue=6 | year=1986 | issn=0015-9018 | doi=10.1007/bf01886518 | pages=507–531| bibcode=1986FoPh...16..507F | s2cid=122076550 }}</ref>
