codeforces#P1357A6. Distinguish four Pauli gates
Distinguish four Pauli gates
Description
You are given an operation that implements a single-qubit unitary transformation: either the identity (I gate) or one of the Pauli gates (X, Y or Z gate). The operation will have Adjoint and Controlled variants defined.
Your task is to perform necessary operations and measurements to figure out which unitary it was and to return
- 0 if it was the I gate,
- 1 if it was the X gate,
- 2 if it was the Y gate,
- 3 if it was the Z gate.
You are allowed to apply the given operation and its adjoint/controlled variants exactly once.
You have to implement an operation which takes a single-qubit operation as an input and returns an integer. Your code should have the following signature:
namespace Solution { open Microsoft.Quantum.Intrinsic;operation Solve (unitary : (Qubit => Unit is Adj+Ctl)) : Int { // your code here }
}
