* Qubit 4: HADAMARD-Gate (10 min)

Construct a gate (2 by 2 matrix) $ \hat{H}$ that shifts the basis vectors into superpositions
$\displaystyle \vert\rangle \to \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\vert\rangle + \vert 1\r...
...ert 1\rangle \to \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\vert\rangle - \vert 1\rangle \right).$     (32)

Write down the explicit form of $ \hat{H}$.
