# Synthesize unitary operations

## What's required
|
||||
|
||||
Running the code in this topic requires Qiskit SDK 1.0 or later, with visualization support ( pip install 'qiskit[visualization]' ).
|
||||
To learn about the latest changes to Qiskit SDK 1.0, review the most recent [release notes.](/api/qiskit/release-notes)

## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
A unitary operation describes a norm-preserving change to a quantum system.
|
||||
For $n$ qubits this change is described by a $2^n \times 2^n$ dimensional, complex matrix $U$ whose adjoint equals the inverse, that is $U^\dagger U = \mathbb{1}$.

Therefore, if you know an efficient decomposition for the unitary you would like to implement, it will likely be better than a general synthesis.

However, after re-synthesizing with the following code, it only needs a single CX gate. (Here we use the `QuantumCircuit.decompose()` method to better visualize the gates used to re-synthesize the unitary.)
