Purify a mixed qubit
Prepare a two-qubit pure state whose reduced state on qubit 0 is the mixed state . Mixedness of a marginal cannot come from a single-qubit gate: it must come from entanglement with qubit 1.

Step 1: Prepare a purification
Starting from , build a circuit with at most four gates from whose output is a two-qubit pure state with reduced state on qubit 0
Qubit 0 is the leftmost bit, and the components of the partial trace are . The check computes the trace distance to the target and accepts .
