Simulation of swap operation. The swap operation is: |00⟩⟨00| + |10⟩⟨ 01| + |01⟩⟨10| + |11⟩⟨11|. If we take the swap operation on input state |jk⟩, the output state will be |kj⟩, j, k = 0, 1. It can be decomposed into three control-not operations. The bases states of and would be transformed into the bases states of and by this operation.
