Can you programatically check whether a given set of gates is universal?
I am wondering if there is an automated way to determine whether a given set of quantum operations is universal.
More precisely, given a set of 1 and 2 qubit gates, can we write a program to determine ...

Writing circuits in Qiskit using only Clifford and T gates
Is there a way in Qiskit to write my circuit using only Clifford and T gates (CX, S, H, T and I think also $S^\dagger$ and $T^\dagger$)? With the function compile (with aer simulator) it gives me some ...

Bell State 11 not working for parity curve
I am currently writing a script to automate the creation of parity curves for a 2 qubit bell state and then calculate fidelity and proving entanglement from that (inspired by this paper). It was going ...

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 ...

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 ...

What is the actual precision of the IBM quantum computer?
In working with the IBM quantum computer, one can use for example the composer in order to build simple quantum algorithms. Essentially, one usually feeds a phase in order to affect one of the qubits. ...
