PUZZLE #5343: Quantum Gate Cipher (diff 4)
Each letter of the answer is encoded as a single-qubit quantum state. A sequence of 6 quantum gates (H, S, S, Y, T, S) rotates each state. Apply the inverse gates in reverse order to recover the original letters.

| Hint |
Quantum gate cipher — difficulty 4. Gate sequence (6 gates): H -> S -> S -> Y -> T -> S. Word length: 6 characters. Apply inverse gates in reverse order to each final state, recover the angle from the |0> amplitude, map to A-Z.
