Q: Why does my code run a long time?

chiyue panI want to run code on ibm qx, and I choose the backend "simulator", I also use the monitor to check the queue, but I have this problem. "Job is actively running" still a long time, how can I solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

Q: Simulating depth-2 circuits

BlackHat18Quantum depth-2 circuits can be efficiently simulated classically, as shown in Proposition 2 of this paper. The following is a quote of the proof. After the first time step the quantum state of the circuit consists of a set of 2-qubit entangled states and possibly some 1-qubit states and ...

Q: Expected value of a product of Pauli matrices in different bases

Constantine RouxI'm trying to reproduce the results of this article https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.03897, using Qiskit and Xanadu PennyLane. Particularly, this part with expected values of the Pauli operators: For Ansatz circuit from the mentioned article I can get the same results for $\langle Z_0 \rangle$ a...

Q: On linear optics quantum computing?

TurboDo the quantum computing experiments based on linear optics form their own class? If so where is it between $BQP$ and $BPP$ and is there a complete language?

Q: Show for $r \in \mathbb R$, $e^{(a_1 ^\dagger a_2^\dagger - a_1a_2)r}|0,0 \rangle = \frac{1}{\cosh r} \sum_{j=0}^\infty (\tanh r)^j |j,j \rangle$

izimathLet $ a_1, a_2 $ be annihilation operators for the first and second component in the product state $|m,n \rangle$ using Fock basis. I want to show for $r \in \mathbb R$, $$e^{(a_1 ^\dagger a_2^\dagger - a_1a_2)r}|0,0 \rangle = \frac{1}{\cosh r} \sum_{j=0}^\infty (\tanh r)^j |j,j \rangle$$ ho...

Q: How to prove that a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space can only have $d^2$ equiangular vectors (i.e. that a SIC is a maximal collection of that kind)?

Алексей УваровIt is an open question if every $d$-dimensional Hilbert space contains a collection of $d^2$ states, such that every two have a scalar product of $\frac{1}{d+1}$, i.e. if a SIC-POVM exists for every dimension. However, I don't understand why $d^2$ is the ultimate upper bound for the size of suc...

Q: Can unitary probability theory (quantum mechanics) emerge from a lack of information about a deterministic process?

Jacob SchneiderFrom my understanding a ‘hidden variable theory’ is just saying that the current quantum theory is not a complete description of nature, and just like thermodynamics can be reduced to deterministic rules (statistical mechanics), the probabilistic nature of the wave function can be reduced to dete...

Q: Naming symmetries in quantum systems, e.g. $\mathbb{Z}_2$ or $U(1)$

PhysicsStudentI'm constantly confused by some of nomenclature that is associated with symmetries in quantum Hamiltonians and was hoping someone could set me straight. Specifically, we often have something like a quantum transverse Ising model with $$ H = \sum_i Z_i Z_{i+1} + \sum_i X_i $$ where $Z_i$ is the P...
