Does the Curry-Howard correspondence have a quantum-specific type system?
In Wikipedia we can read that
the Curry–Howard correspondence is a correspondence between formal proof calculi and type systems for models of computation. In particular, it splits into two ...

Enforcing a particular layout mapping in Qiskit
I would like to ask how to set a particular layout during transpiling. I guess that the layout can be set by the initial_layout parameter in the transpiler. However,...

Run VQE for parametrized quantum circuit with ancilla qubits
Let's say we have the following circuit (picture and code shown below), and now the $q_0$ is an ancilla qubit. If the system of interest has only two qubits, Is there a way to use only $q_{1,2}$ as my ...

What do "$i$-th basic network", "quantum multiplexers" and "quantum parallelism" mean in this context? How are they beneficial?
I have been reading the paper A quantum-implementable neural network model (Chen et al., 2017) for a few days now, but failed to understand how exactly their algorithm offers a speedup over the ...

Is VQA quicker than classical machine learning?
Variational Quantum Algorithm (VQA) is a kind of quantum algorithm corresponding to classical machine learning. Unlike the square speed up of Grover's algorithm, the circuit in VQA does not seem to ...

What is the best way to use loop statements on a quantum computer?
I am interested in solving a time dependent linear partial differential equation of the form $Ax=b$ which, in classical computing, would amount to looping over solutions of $Ax=b$ where $b$ is updated ...

General mixed integer linear programming problem with quantum computers
I was wondering if anyone had a sample code for running a general MILP problem. I saw some coding for some very specific problems and I thought they were kind of far away from what we needed.

Results from looped experiments on IBM Q different than individual experiments
I'm experiencing an issue while using Qiskit where the counts from a job return vastly different values when ran in a loop or as an array of circuits as opposed to single experiments when run by ...
