    The suffix-gate derives from the Watergate scandal in the United States in the early 1970s, which resulted in the resignation of US President Richard Nixon. [2] The scandal was named after the Watergate complex in Washington, D.C., where the burglary giving rise to the scandal took place; the complex itself was named after the "Water Gate" area where symphony orchestra concerts were staged on ...

    Around the year 600, the Franks started colonizing the area near the local Saint-Bartholomew's Church, which was the highest point of Merksem at the time. In 750, the Scheldt river finally started settling itself into its current river bed, which resulted in parts of Merksem becoming peat bog (a type of wetland).

    2-step garage, or simply 2-step, is a genre of electronic music and a subgenre of UK garage. [1] One of the primary characteristics of the 2-step sound – the term being coined to describe "a general rubric for all kinds of jittery, irregular rhythms that don't conform to garage's traditional four-on-the-floor pulse" [1] – is that the rhythm lacks the kick drum pattern found in many other ...

  8. List of quantum logic gates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_logic_gates

    The Fredkin gate (also CSWAP or CS gate), named after Edward Fredkin, is a 3-bit gate that performs a controlled swap. It is universal for classical computation. It has the useful property that the numbers of 0s and 1s are conserved throughout, which in the billiard ball model means the same number of balls are output as input.

  9. Toffoli gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffoli_gate

    The Fredkin gate The Toffoli gate can be constructed from single qubit T- and Hadamard-gates, and a minimum of six CNOTs. The Fredkin gate is a universal reversible 3-bit gate that swaps the last two bits if the first bit is 1; a controlled-swap operation. The n-bit Toffoli gate is a generalization of the Toffoli gate.
