In HHL algorithm, after the quantum phase estimation, what is the angle of rotation i.e. what is the value of $\theta$ in R$_y$($\theta$) that is used in rotating ancilla qubit? How to find this angle of rotation without knowing the eigenvalues of matrix $A$? Is there any general method to find this angle of rotation for any $n$x$n$ Hermitian matrix $A$?

  • $\begingroup$ That's why it's controlled off "register". That tells you (approximately) the eigenvalue and so you compute the rotation angle based upon that. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @DaftWullie Can you explain in detail what you want to say. Better to explain with an example. $\endgroup$
