Reducing circuit initialization complexity
I'm encoding data into a QuantumCircuit via the Initialize method for QFTs. In doing this and transpiling for IonQ backends, I'm getting rather complex circuits. Is there a way to encode this data ...

How to initialize a $n$ qubit system in this specific state
Basically, I have $2n$ qubits and I want to initialize them in the state $\frac{|\psi\rangle}{\lVert |\psi\rangle \rVert}$ where
$$|\psi \rangle = \sum_{\mathrm{w}\in \{0,1\}^n}|\mathrm{w}\mathrm{w}\...

How to get precise angle values in Qiskit while using initialize() function to generate arbitrary quantum state?
Is there any way to get the quantum gate values more precisely in qiskit?
For example, if I want to create 1/√3[|00⟩+|01⟩+|11⟩]. By using initialize() I get the following circuit by using the draw() ...

What are the mathematics and theory behind Initializing a quantum state vector?
I do not understand how the initialize function in QiSkit is working. I know that it is used to put a qubit in a specific custom state.
My question is - how is it implemented or how to do such a thing ...

From the final quantum state to the quantum circuit composition
When I build a quantum circuit and my initial state is the one composed only by zeros ($|000\ldots 0\rangle$), I have a final state $|\psi\rangle$ that is the result of the application of the quantum ...

How to separate initializing qubits from runing algorithm several times
I have read several papers about quantum computing. It looks like any algorithm consists of several phases. For example in Grover algorithm initially qubits must be initialized from reset state $|0\...

How is the state preparation Unitary in initialize selected?
Normally, in order to prepare the Bell state $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|00\rangle+|11\rangle)$, we can simply make a circuit with a Hadamard gate on $|0\rangle$ followed by a CNOT gate on $|1\rangle$. ...

Why wont my custom controlled gates in Cirq work on a simulator?
To initialize a state in Cirq, I created a custom controlled rotation and a custom rotation gate. The effect of applying the custom controlled gates to the qubits doesn't seem to affect the state.

Qiskit: Initializing $n$ qubits with binary values ($0$s and $1$s)
Is there a way in Qiskit to initialize $n$ qubits with binary values (0s and 1s)? For example, how can I initialize two qubits in the state $|11\rangle$? Here is a code snippet:

Default input states of qubits to quantum circuits [closed]
It is conventional to assume that the state input to the circuit is a
computational basis state, usually the state consisting of all
$|0\rangle$s. This rule is broken frequently in the literature ...

Threshold and practical requirements for initial state preparation?
At the beginning of a quantum computational process we generally want to start in a perfectly known initial state, and evolve from there. This cannot be done perfectly, for fundamental reasons, but I ...
