PUZZLE #5219: Quantum Gate Cipher (diff 5)
Each letter of the answer is encoded as a single-qubit quantum state. A sequence of 7 quantum gates (Z, H, S, H, H, T, Y) rotates each state. Apply the inverse gates in reverse order to recover the original letters.

| Hint |
Quantum gate cipher — difficulty 5. Gate sequence (7 gates): Z -> H -> S -> H -> H -> T -> Y. Word length: 24 characters. Apply inverse gates in reverse order to each final state, recover the angle from the |0> amplitude, map to A-Z.
