  6. Redo the midterm (correctly this time). You will present this corrected version to me in my office. Sign up for a time slot in class. When you come to my office bring both the original and the corrected versions with you.
  7. Due M 4/20
    For each part of this problem construct a circuit for the given transform using only the Hadamard gate $H$, controlled-$R_k$ for various $k$, and swap gates. Recall that $R_k=\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & \exp(2 \pi i\; 2^{-k})\; \end{pmatrix}$
