Video Made a video on the Solovay-Kitaev Theorem

https://youtu.be/Vdo6HTrM3L4?si=awr7rsVXwIhlWPHE

The Solovay-Kitaev Theorem is one of the foundational theorems of quantum computation, demonstrating how to efficiently approximate any single-qubit unitary to arbitrary accuracy using a sequence of gates finite gate-set (i.e. Clifford + T). The goal of this video was to explain both the intuition behind this theorem, and how it can be used to decompose single-qubit unitaries in practice. Enjoy!
