Can anyone explain how the CNOT matrix below is a valid presentation for the four-qubit states that follow after?

|0 0> -> |0 0> 
|0 1> -> |0 1>
|1 0> -> |1 1>

  • Is your confusion about the choice of ordering the basis for which of 00,01,10 and 11 go with rows/columns 1,2,3,4 of the matrix? So you know which rows/columns to put 1s vs 0s.

The one concept that I think would really help you is knowing how to turn those 4 states, $|00rangle, |01rangle, |10rangle, |11rangle$, into vectors, so that you can do the matrix multiplication.



Let me show you.



$$
beginalign
|00rangle = beginbmatrix 1 \ 0 \ 0 \ 0 endbmatrix,|01rangle = beginbmatrix 0 \ 1 \ 0 \ 0 endbmatrix, |10rangle = beginbmatrix 0 \ 0 \ 1 \ 0 endbmatrix, |11rangle = beginbmatrix 0 \ 0 \ 0 \ 1 endbmatrix
endalign
$$



Now if you do the matrix multplication: $rmCNOT times |00rangle$

You will see that you will get exactly what you said, which is $|00rangle$, and the same is true for the rest of them!



This is using the convention that $|0rangle = beginbmatrix 1 \ 0 endbmatrix$ and $|1rangle = beginbmatrix 0 \ 1 endbmatrix$, and $|abrangle = |arangle otimes |brangle$ where $otimes$ is the left Kronecker product.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
