Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists will be very useful.
Ok to work in groups of 3 and submit one solution.
(2 points) Compute (1+2i)/(3+4i).
(5 pts) Compute the eigenvalues of $\begin{vmatrix} 1&2\\3&4 \end{vmatrix}$.
(2 pts) Considering complex numbers as points in the 2D plane, what is the geometric effect of multiplying a complex number by (.6+.8i) ?
(5 pts) Do exercise 1.3.8. Let c = 1 − i. Convert it to polar coordinates, calculate its fifth power, and revert the answers to Cartesian coordinates.
(5 pts) Exercise 1.3.9 Find all the cube roots of c = 1 + i.

(5 pts) Find the inverse Mobius transformation to
$$R_{a,b,c,d}(z) = \frac{az+b}{cz+d}$$
(5 pts) Invert the Hadamard matrix $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{vmatrix} 1&1\\1&-1\end{vmatrix}$.
(2 pts) Could a classical OR gate, with 2 inputs and 1 output, be a quantum gate? Why?
-
(2 pts) Could the following extension of a classical OR gate, with 2 inputs and 2 outputs, be a quantum gate? Why?:
A' = A or B B' = B
-
(2 pts) What about this extension of a classical XOR gate, with 2 inputs and 2 outputs. Can it be a quantum gate? Why?:
A' = A xor B B' = B
