On the non-existence of a universal Hadamard gate
Abstract
Description
We establish the non-existence of a universal Hadamard gate for arbitrary unknown qubits, by considering two different principles; namely, no-superluminal signalling and non-increase of entanglement under LOCC. It is also shown that these principles are not violated if and only if the qubit states are of a special form obtained in our recent work [ IJQI (in press), quant-ph/0505068 ].
