            Why Pauli Z can be used to measure a single qubit ?
            Asked 2022-Mar-30 at 09:21

            According to the Q# documentation, a single qubit can be measured by M.The method uses Pauli-Z. But why Pauli Z can be used to measure a single qubit? I have known the matrix of Pauli-Z like below:

            and the output result is given by the distribution:

            But what's the relationship between the matrix and the formula? What's happened with method M? I really need your help.

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-25 at 18:18

            Pauli Z matrix defines the basis in which the measurement is performed. A measurement in the Pauli Z basis is the same as the computational basis measurement, projecting the state onto one of the states |0⟩ or |1⟩ (the eigenstates of Pauli Z matrix).

            I'm not up for spelling the math here, since classical StackOverflow doesn't support LaTeX. You can find a good tutorial on single-qubit measurements in Q# in the Quantum Katas project.

            Accessing Qubit With DAGCircuit
            Asked 2022-Mar-22 at 11:46

            I'm currently trying to make my own TransformationPass to use when compiling a QuantumCircuit for specific hardware, but I'm struggling to get things to work with the DAGCircuit that gets passed to the run(self, dag) method that gets overridden. My main issue at the moment is trying to figure out which qubits each node in the graph actually operates on. I can access the wire for each node, but accessing the qubit index from there raises a DeprecationWarning.

            I can simply ignore the warning, but it gives me the impression that I should be going about this another way.

            Is there a formal method for accessing the qubit (either object or simply its index) given the DAG?

            ANSWER

            Answered 2022-Mar-22 at 11:46

            For DAGCircuit right now there isn't a great answer for this. The .index attribute is deprecated as in the case of standalone bit objects on the circuit if they're in a register it might not yield the result you expect (it'll be the register index not the index on the circuit necessarily).

            Deutsch algorithm applies the X gate to the qubit you use for phase kickback trick, to prepare it in the |-⟩ state before applying the oracle. Your implementation applies it to the "data" qubit instead, so that the combined effect of the algorithm (after H gates cancel out) is just preparing the data qubit in |1⟩ state.

            Because Qiskit has multiple drawers. Those are:

            • text
            • mpl
            • latex
            • latex_source.

            The drawer you see in the IBM Quantum Lab is the one based on Matplotlib. You can get the same output by qc.draw('mpl').

            To set a default, you can change (or create if does not exist) the file ~/.qiskit/settings.conf) with the entry circuit_drawer = mpl.

            Answered 2021-May-12 at 03:26

            If you are familiar with the physics of the Ising model (e.g. just look it up on wikipedia), you will find out that the term "linear bias" h is used instead of the physics term external constant magnetic field and the term "quadratic bias" J is used instead of the physics term of interaction between a pair of (neighbouring in the case of the Ising model) spins. My guess is that the h and J coefficients must be learned from some given data. Your job is to cast (interpret) the data available to you into an Ising model configuration (state) and then use some sort of optimization with unknown h and J that minimizes the difference between the model's solutions (theoretical Ising model configuration) and the observed data.

            Quantum computing vs traditional base10 systems
            Asked 2021-Feb-24 at 18:40

            This may show my naiveté but it is my understanding that quantum computing's obstacle is stabilizing the qbits. I also understand that standard computers use binary (on/off); but it seems like it may be easier with today's tech to read electric states between 0 and 9. Binary was the answer because it was very hard to read the varying amounts of electricity, components degrade over time, and maybe maintaining a clean electrical "signal" was challenging.

            But wouldn't it be easier to try to solve the problem of reading varying levels of electricity so we can go from 2 inputs to 10 and thereby increasing the smallest unit of storage and exponentially increasing the number of paths through the logic gates? I know I am missing quite a bit (sorry the puns were painful) so I would love to hear why or why not. Thank you

            Answered 2021-Feb-24 at 18:40

            "Exponentially increasing the number of paths through the logic gates" is exactly the problem. More possible states for each n-ary digit means more transistors, larger gates and more complex CPUs. That's not to say no one is working on ternary and similar systems, but the reason binary is ubiquitous is its simplicity. For storage, more possible states also means we need more sensitive electronics for reading and writing, and a much higher error frequency during these operations. There's a lot of hype around using DNA (base-4) for storage, but this is more on account of the density and durability of the substrate.

            You're correct, though that your question is missing quite a bit - qubits are entirely different from classical information, whether we use bits or digits. Classical bits and trits respectively correspond to vectors like

            No vulnerabilities reported

            Install liboqs-python

            First, you must build liboqs according to the [liboqs building instructions](https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs#linuxmacos) with shared library support enabled (add -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON to the cmake command), followed (optionally) by a sudo ninja install to ensure that the shared library is visible system-wide (by default it installs under /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib on Linux/macOS). On Linux/macOS you may need to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH (DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on macOS) environment variable to point to the path to liboqs' library directory, e.g. assuming liboqs.so.* were installed in /usr/local/lib (true if you ran sudo ninja install after building liboqs). On Windows ensure that the liboqs shared library oqs.dll is visible system-wide. Use the "Edit the system environment variables" Control Panel tool or type in a Command Prompt. of course replacing the paths with the ones corresponding to your system.
