Purpose

Explanation

Role in Quantum Encryption

Hadamard gate

Rotation around Y axis \(\:\left(\frac{\pi\:}{2}\right)\) and X axis (\(\:\pi\:)\)

Creates superposition of basis states

It prepares qubits in equal superposition for quantum parallelism

It converts pixel intensities into frequency components by enabling QFT.

Controlled Rotation Z gate

\(\:\left(\frac{\pi\:}{2}\right)\)

Applies controlled phase shift for entanglement

It introduces conditional phase rotations to maintain quantum interference

It encodes pixel position-dependent phase shifts that contribute to encryption.

To decrypt apply a negative phase shift across the qubit
