Basis for permutation invariant states
It is known that the maximally entangled qubit states form a basis (the Bell basis). Let $\Phi$ be the canonical maximally entangled state i.e.

How to initialize a state of the form$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|\texttt{++}\rangle + |\texttt{--}\rangle$) in the circuit model?
I wonder how to initialise a Bell-like state, in the circuit model, where instead of standard $|\Phi^{\texttt{+}}\rangle$, the entanglement is in the x-basis.
Hence a state $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|\...
