Top new questions this week:

Which currently known quantum algorithms cannot be derived from the QSVT algorithm?

I have just started reading the paper A Grand Unification of Quantum Algorithms. There is a claim on page 2 that "by simply adjusting the parameters of QSVT, one can construct nearly all known ...

Are operators unitary on a real quantum computer?

The question is more from the physical side of quantum computers. Can we say that operators are unitary or due to the NISQ nature, the operator (impact on particles) in reality deviates from this ...

Is there any mathematical technique to find the exact solution of a QUBO problem?

Suppose I am given a QUBO problem consisting in the minimization of a quadratic function $\vec{x}^T Q \vec{x}$ over a binary-valued vector $\vec{x} \in \{0, 1\}^n$, with $Q$ a symmetric indefinite ...

How to calculate guessing probability for quantum key distribution?

There are 3 Projections $P_1$, $P_2$, and $P_3$ corresponding to 3 inputs $x = 1, 2, 3$ for Alice. Similarly, the same projections are used by Bob for $y = 1, 2, 3$. Each input has 2 outcomes, $a = 1, ...

What's so bad about preparing magic states by measuring Clifford gates?

Suppose we want to perform a gate from the third level of the Clifford hierarchy for example $ T,CS, CCZ, CCX $. To implement such a gate using gate teleportation we need to take as an input certain ...

Greatest hits from previous weeks:

Is there any online Bloch sphere simulator?

While writing this answer I realized it would be really helpful if I could show the OP a video or .gif of how qubit states in Bloch spheres transform under certain unitary operations. I googled up a ...

An impossible quantum adder claimed by a journal article?

In Quantum adder of two states that are themselves superpositions, I asked: I have two states $|a\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt N}\sum_{i=0}^{N-1}|i\rangle|a_i\rangle$ and $|b\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt N}\...

QMA-QCMA oracle with quantum gates

While reading the QMA-QCMA paper by Aaronson and Kuperberg I wondered how their result extends to quantum circuits. Suppose you have an oracle $O$ such that $O\left|\psi\right>=-\left|\psi\right>...

Reducing Estimator time for calculating expectation values

I have a circuit with $2N + 1$ qubits and with depth $2t + 2$, where $t$ is essentially the number of trotter steps, or the number of times a fixed block of gates repeats itself in the circuit. After ...

Code distance and existence of isometry in tensor networks

Recently, I've been looking into quantum error correction codes as tensor networks. I collected the following "facts" (which may be wrong, if so, please feel free to correct me on them). A $[...
