Quantum SWAP test helps to compare two quantum states <math>|\psi\rangle</math> and <math>|\psi'\rangle</math>. An ancilla qubit is prepared here in the state <math>\frac{|0\rangle + |1\rangle}{2}</math> and a controlled swap test is performed on two states <math>|\psi\rangle</math> and <math>|\psi'\rangle</math>. | Quantum SWAP test helps to compare two quantum states <math>|\psi\rangle</math> and <math>|\psi'\rangle</math>.
