Mastering Quantum Computing with IBM QX

By: Dr. Christine Corbett Moran

Overview of this book

<p>Quantum computing is set to disrupt the industry. IBM Research has made quantum computing available to the public for the first time, providing cloud access to IBM QX from any desktop or mobile device. Complete with cutting-edge practical examples, this book will help you understand the power of quantum computing in the real world.</p> <p>Mastering Quantum Computing with IBM QX begins with the principles of quantum computing and the areas in which they can be applied. You'll explore the IBM Ecosystem, which enables quantum development with Quantum Composer and Qiskit. As you progress through the chapters, you'll implement algorithms on the quantum processor and learn how quantum computations are actually performed.</p> <p>By the end of the book, you will completely understand how to create quantum programs of your own, the impact of quantum computing on your business, and how to future-proof your programming career.</p>

Questions


  1. Find another classic universal gate set.
  2. |"0">I is not an allowed operation. Try applying the gate after the qubit in Python; what happens?
  3. What would be the result of IIII|"0">? What would be the result of I|"+">?
  4. Visualize XH|"0"> on the Bloch sphere. What gate would you have to apply to |"1"> to get the same result?
  5. Starting out with a |"+"> qubit, which gate(s) could you apply to get |"0"> as a result? To get 
     as a result?
  6. What gate do you get if you apply the X gate twice? The Y gate twice? The Z gate twice?
  7. What is SS|"+">? What is TT|"+">?
  8. What would you get by applying the CNOT gate to the state |"++">?
