### Is it possible to set quantum volume in IBM Quantum simulator?

A quantum volume serves as a metric of a quantum processor quality. So far, IBM Quantum provides processors with quantum volume up to 128. Freely accessbile processors have QV up to 32. A user using ...

### Is the SWAP gate a Clifford Gate? How would I express it using the Clifford Gate generators?

By my calculations, it looks like the SWAP gate is a Clifford Gate. See the following table: I follow the same method as in this paper for showing a gate is a Clifford Gate. I got the above table by ...

### How is Quantum Phase Estimation useful for simulating dynamics of a many-body system?

I am quite aware of the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) as well as the very closely related topic of Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE). The latter is usually motivated as follows: Given a unitary $U$ and ...

### Does noise model in qiskit impact the optimized parameters for QAOA?

I have read this paper about the effects of quantum noise on QAOA. In the conclusion, it says: QAOA is a noise-tolerant algorithm, quantum noise does not change the QAOA quantum circuit parameter ...

### How can I simulate the Avg CNOT Error on IBMQ Backends?

I want to know exactly how to estimate the Avg CNOT Error rate for IBMQ Backends? For instance, I tried to estimate the Avg CNOT Error rate for Belem Backend; I randomly prepared the 00,01,10,11 ...

### What is the maximum number of qubits that can be simulated by Qiskit using any method?

I'm looking to write an algorithm (potentially) using Qiskit, and am trying to find out what the maximum number of Qubits is that Qiskit can support with various simulation methods. From reading other ...

### Is a black-box gate whose output is conditional on the value of an input amplitude possible?

Suppose we have a qubit in the state $|q\rangle = a |0\rangle + b |1\rangle$, and another ancilla qubit $= |0\rangle$. I wish to have the following black-box gate: ...
