+ "## Understanding the Rotation Angles\n",
+ "\n",
+ "In quantum computing, rotation gates are parameterized by angles that
determine the amount of rotation applied to a qubit's state. Here's what each
angle represents:\n",
+ "\n",
+ "- **`theta`**: The rotation angle for the RX gate (rotation around the
X-axis of the Bloch sphere). This angle is measured in radians and determines
how much the qubit rotates in the X direction.\n",
+ "\n",
+ "- **`phi`**: The rotation angle for the RY gate (rotation around the
Y-axis of the Bloch sphere). Like theta, it's measured in radians and controls
rotation in the Y direction.\n",
+ "\n",
+ "- **`lambda`**: The rotation angle for the RZ gate (rotation around the
Z-axis of the Bloch sphere). This parameter controls phase rotation along the
Z-axis.\n",
+ "\n",
+ "All angles are in radians, where a full rotation corresponds to 2π
radians. These parameters will be optimized to find the quantum state that
minimizes our cost function."
