Talk:Hadamard transform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What's missing from the page is a brief description of what these mean. Why are the these results interesting?

H|1\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle.
H|0\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle.
H( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle )= \frac{1}{2}( |0\rangle+|1\rangle) - \frac{1}{2}( |0\rangle - |1\rangle) = |1\rangle ;
H( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle )= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|0\rangle + |1\rangle) + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|0\rangle-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}|1\rangle)= |0\rangle .
