Is HHL still BQP-complete when the matrix entries are only in {0,1}?

I'm studying BQP-completeness proofs of a number of interesting problems of Janzing and Wocjan, and Wocjan and Zhang. Janzing and Wocjan show that estimating entries of matrix powers $(A^m)_{ij}$ with ...

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 ...

Anti-symmetrization on the lattice

Assume, I'm using a system of qubits to simulate a fermionic system. If I'm using the second-quantized formalism (e.g. orbitals in quantum chemistry), the anti-symmetric nature of the fermionic wave ...

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,...

Solving linear system $Ax=b$ with exponential speed-up via binary optimization?

The main disadvantage of HHL algorithm for solving $A|x\rangle = |b\rangle$ is that exponential speed-up is reached only in case we are interested in value $\langle x|M|x\rangle$, where $M$ is a ...

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 is the largest linear system of equations solved using HHL experimentally?

Can someone tell what is the largest system of equations solved using HHL algorithm experimentally? I know the $8$ x $8$ system has been solved experimentally. Has someone gone beyond this to solve $...

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 ...

How exactly is the stated composite state of the two registers being produced using the $R_{zz}$ controlled rotations?

This is a sequel to How are two different registers being used as "control"? I found the following quantum circuit given in Fig 5 (page 6) of the same paper i.e. Quantum Circuit Design for ...

What is the classical cost of simulating an arbitrary quantum state?

The past couple of years has seen various groups claim quantum advantage/utility only to have their experiments efficiently simulated with classical methods, notably using tensor networks. My question ...

Add noise_model when using 'ibmq_qasm_simulator' backend and provider.runtime.run() function

I am trying to test some qiskit code that employs readout-error mitigation using the ibmq_qasm_simulator backend and Qiskit Runtime. I am getting the backend as ...

Trotter error for bosons in various encodings

Mapping second-quantized bosonic modes onto qubits can be done using various encodings. Each of those have their pro et contra. Fewer qubits — more gates, and vice versa. Encoding an $N$-level bosonic ...

In the HHL algorithm, how large should the eigenvalue estimation register be?

In the HHL algorithm, we need to estimate the eigenvalues of a matrix $A$. The result is stored in a register with $l$ qubits. Let $T = 2^l$. $T$ cannot be too small, otherwise the result would have a ...

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 ...
