Statevector uses big-endian qubit masks · case 02

An X on qubit 0 of a three-qubit register excites basis index 4 instead of index 1.

Case contract

Input [n, gates]; start in |0...0>, apply gates h,x,y,z,s,sdg,t (["g", q]) and cx,cz,swap (["g", a, b]) with qubit 0 as the least significant bit of the basis index; return the statevector as [re, im] pairs rounded to 6 decimals.

Why this case matters

Statevector simulators underpin circuit unit tests; a gate-kernel slip silently corrupts every downstream amplitude.
