TL;DR

The theory of quantum computational networks is the quantum generalization of the theory of logic circuits used in classical computing machines, and a single type of gate, the universal quantum gate, together with quantum ‘unit wires' is adequate for constructing networks with any possible quantum computational property.

Abstract

Abstract The theory of quantum computational networks is the quantum generalization of the theory of logic circuits used in classical computing machines. Quantum gates are the generalization of classical logic gates. A single type of gate, the universal quantum gate, together with quantum ‘unit wires’, is adequate for constructing networks with any possible quantum computational property.
