Past exam of the mathematics course of the University of Cambridge / 2023 / ii / Paper 3 / 15D / a / Solution

Apply the gates from left to right. The first Hadamard gate and the first controlled-NOT gate produce the Bell stateThe parallel $Z\otimes H$ gates then produceThe final controlled-NOT has the lower qubit as control; it interchanges $|01⟩$ and $|11⟩$, whose amplitudes here are equal. Thus the output isBy quantum measurement in the computational basis, every basis outcome has probability equal to the squared modulus of its amplitude:
