    "\n",
    "1. **Parameter Handling**: We will use symbols to represent parameters in quantum gates, allowing these parameters to be updated during optimization.\n",

    "3. **Simple Optimization Loop**: We'll implement a basic optimization loop that updates parameters based on a cost function.\n"
