+ "\n",
+ "The circuit library also includes standard quantum gates. Some are more fundamental gates (such as the `UGate`), and others are multi-qubit gates that usually need building from single- and two-qubit gates. To add imported gates to your circuit, use the `append` method; the first argument is the gate, and the next argument is a list of qubits to apply the gate to.\n",

+ "For example, the following code cell creates a circuit with a Hadamard gate and a multi-controlled-X gate."
