Description
Added new functionality to simplify quantum circuits in place. The implemented simplifications include:
The simplification algorithm also accounts for symmetrical control two-qubit gates.
To facilitate the process, a new function has been added that takes as input two Gate instances and returns a tuple of types bool and int. The boolean denotes whether the two gates commute and the int the possible simplification scheme.
