Why can't quantum annealing be described by a gate model?
This is a question I was inspired to ask based on this question, which notes that quantum annealing is an entirely different model for computation than the usual circuit model. I've heard this before, ...

Do multi-qubit measurements make a difference in quantum circuits?
Consider the unitary circuit model of quantum computation. If we need to generate entanglement between the input qubits with the circuit, it must have multi-qubit gates such as CNOT, as entanglement ...

How does approximating gates via universal gates scale with the length of the computation?
I understand that there is a constructive proof that arbitrary gates can be approximated by a finite universal gate set, which is the Solovay–Kitaev Theorem.
However, the approximation introduces an ...

Measurement of a qubit and storage of the information on a bit
Suppose we have the quantum circuit below with a quantum register of 2 qubits and a classical register of 2 bits. The Hadamard gates and CNOT gate are not important for the question. When we measure a ...
