Questions tagged [random-quantum-circuit]
For questions about quantum circuits having a small (polynomial) number of quantum gates; each gate is defined randomly. Random quantum circuits may be implementable shortly, and be used in noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era. Sampling from a random quantum circuit is likely to be classically hard.
