Title: Decomposition of unitary gates 

Abstract: In quantum computation, one has to manipulate quantum states using unitary operators. In this talk, we discuss some results and questions concerning the decomposition of unitary gates in the context of quantum computing. (No quantum mechanics background is needed).
