#' @title
#' Rotation operation about z-axis of the Bloch sphere
#'
#' @description
#' This function operates the Rotation gate about the z-axis of the Bloch sphere by an angle \code{theta} on a conformable input matrix \code{n}.
#'
#' @param n a vector/matrix
#' @param theta an angle
#'
#' @usage
#' Rz(n, theta)
#'
#' @return A vector or a matrix after operating the Rotation gate about the z-axis of the Bloch sphere, by an angle \code{theta}, on a conformable input matrix or a vector \code{n}.
