I put 
{TensorProduct[{1, 0}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}, {0, 1}]}/Sqrt[2]//MatrixForm 
and I got

6.15.1.2 Breaking "Functional Loops" and Doing Lazy Evaluation In Mathematica

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226334

Alright, so this is a question about the functional way to break a for/while loop. Since we're on the Mathematica SE, I'm interested in the ways a Mathematica vet would handle this, however the  ...

6.15.1.3 Hexadecimal bytes as variable converted to binary bits

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226171

I am working with hexadecimal bytes but need to shift them into lists of binary bits for a few operations and then back again. 
For example, I would like C12B to turn into  ...

6.15.1.4 Kernel starts up very slowly on Linux

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226128

V 12.1.1, starting a kernel, e.g. by entering wolframscript in the shell, takes an unexpectedly long time (~5 min, the time elapsed between pressing Enter and the showing-up of In[1] := ); but the  ...

6.15.1.5 How to decompose a list of n-tuples into a union of Cartesian products

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226294

I have a list with all elements at the same level 
{ 
{a, d}, {a, e}, {a, f}, 
{b, d}, {b, e}, {b, f}, 
{c, d}, {c, e}, {c, f},

How can I transform this to a list of  ...

6.15.1.6 Mathematica emits a beep after any evaluation - how to remove it?

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226316

Without any obvious reason Mathematica started to emit a beep after each evaluation, even when it is error free. Why is that, and how can I turn it off? I tried restarting Mathematica to no avail, and  ...

6.15.1.7 Prony series with a large number of terms

https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/landing/r/digest?cta=question&id=226327

A Prony series is similar to a Fourier series but can have fewer terms. It takes the form 
$\sum_{i=1}^{M} A_i e^{\sigma _i t} \cos \left(\omega _i t+\phi _i\right)$ 
Note that unlike Fourier series  ...
