Another picture with the second Hadamard gate is needed

The article does not explain why condition qubit changes. The link to quantum Fredkin gate says that condition remains unchanged, C in -> C out, so how could SWAP test work? There is some mathematical explanation, but for classical computer logic inclined people, this is not clear. One of the two articles should be extended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2620:0:1040:2012:8CDF:4299:1ECE:606F (talk) 11:24, 7 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Missing NOT gate in the explanation

[edit]

The formal description and the detailed calculation disagree by a minus sign because after the second Hadamard gate the formal definition assumes a NOT gate is applied to the control qubit but this is not present in the detailed calculation. 2.37.61.253 (talk) 21:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Should I go ahead and fix this myself? 193.204.36.171 (talk) 14:06, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
