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 ...

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 ...

OpenFermion to Qiskit
Is there a direct way to go from an object generated in OpenFermion to objects usable in Qiskit? I can't find anything about any plugin.
It's not too hard to translate into pyQuil and then to Qiskit ...

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 ...

How can I express controlled unitary operation in QPE of this implementation of HHL?
I have found this implementation of HHL, and I don't understand why the controlled unitary operation is expressed in the form of $\exp(i t_0 A/2)$ and $\exp(i t_0 A/4)$.
The rotation of $\pi$ and $\...
