Contributions summary:Bicheng primarily contributed to the testing and development of the `cirq` library, focusing on improving the testing coverage for the heatmap visualization module by adding new tests for colorbar functionality. They also updated a reference link in the README file. Furthermore, they implemented an N-qubit DiagonalGate, including the decomposition algorithm into CNOT and Rz gates. Finally, they refactored SingleQubitCliffordGate to use CliffordTableau.
