What is the controlled-controlled-Pauli-X gate?

The controlled-controlled-Pauli-X gate, also known as the Toffoli gate, is a three-qubit quantum gate that performs a controlled-NOT operation. It applies the Pauli-X (bit-flip) gate to the target qubit if and only if both control qubits are in the state |1⟩.
