State Vector Output for T$|1\rangle$ in Qiskit differs from manual calculation. Why is this so?

Question

The T Gate is defined as $\begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0&e^{i\pi/4} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0&\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) \end{bmatrix}.$

So $\begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0&\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) \end{bmatrix} \vert 1 \rangle = \begin{bmatrix} 1&0 \\ 0&\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) \end{bmatrix}.$

But the following code for the T Gate gives a slightly different output:

from qiskit import QuantumCircuit, Aer, execute
from qiskit_textbook.tools import array_to_latex

qc = QuantumCircuit(1)
qc.initialize([0,1],0)  # initialize to |1>
qc.t(0)
display(qc.draw('mpl'))
backend = Aer.get_backend('statevector_simulator')  # simulate the circuit
state = execute(qc,backend).result().get_statevector()  # get final state
array_to_latex(state, pretext="\\text{Output} = ")  # show final state vector

which is $\begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(1+i) \end{bmatrix}.$

Why do these two results differ? Thanks for any insights.

Answer 1

$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}(1+i) $ = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(1+i)$. To see how this is the case, multiply the numerator and denominator of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}$ = $1$. $\frac {\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{{2}}$ .

The result doesn't differ; only how it's displayed in comparison to your manual calculation does.
