This study introduces a framework using acoustic phase bits (phibits) as classical analogs to quantum bits for realizing quantum-like gates. These phibits are realized on a metastructure composed of aluminum rods glued with epoxy. First, we realize a single phibit gate in a general form for a Bloch sphere representation, providing a foundation for implementing arbitrary gate operations on a single phibit. Second, within a single mathematical representation, we achieve either the Hadamard or NOT gate by applying the corresponding distinct physical actions for each. Third, we demonstrate the implementation of a sequence of two quantum-like gates, Hadamard followed by CNOT, using a single physical action. This illustrates the effectiveness of the phibit framework, which has the potential to simplify the implementation of a whole series of sequential gates into a single unified physical operation. Finally, we realize a universal set of gates, including the Hadamard, CNOT, and T gates, within a single mathematical representation with three distinctive actions. This approach addresses prior limitations of phibit-based gates, such as Hadamard and CNOT, which were implemented in separate mathematical representations, by introducing a unified framework that eliminates the need for distinct formulations maintaining computational efficiency.
