Minor typo in qc_intro.rst #1254

Closed td2014 closed 3 years ago

Did you find a doc bug or broken link that needs to be fixed?

qc_intro.rst

(As rendered on page/section https://qiskit.org/documentation/qc_intro.html#quantum-circuits). Typo located in fourth paragraph. Please see below for specific location.

The word "to" is reversed ("ot") in the last sentence of the paragraph below. I have indicated the location in bold below. Please check the second word from the end of the paragraph.

Quantum gates form the primitive operations on quantum data. Quantum gates represent information preserving, reversible transformations on the quantum data stored in qubits. These β€œunitary” transformations represent the quantum mechanical core of a quantum circuit. Some gates such as 𝑋 (also written as βŠ•) and 𝐢𝑋 have classical analogs such as bit-flip and 𝑋𝑂𝑅 operations, respectively, while others do not. The Hadamand (𝐻) gate, along with the parameterized rotates π‘Ÿπ‘‹(πœƒ) and π‘Ÿπ‘Œ(πœƒ), generate superposition states, while gates such as 𝑍, π‘Ÿπ‘(πœƒ), 𝑆, and 𝑇 impart phases that can be used for interference. Two-qubit gates like the 𝐢𝑋 gate are used to generate entanglement between pairs of qubits, or to β€œkick” the phase from one qubit ot another.

...the phase from one qubit to another.

I don't believe so.

Hey @td2014 I have fixed the issue and made a PR. Please check that and let me know. Thank you @mtreinish

@divshacker The changes made for PR #1255 look good to me. Thank you.
