What is the significance of the "Picture" or colored pattern display in the output to QuantumState?
POSTED BY: Richard Sweney
  • Different pictures eg Schrodinger or Heisenberg (states evolve but not operators, or vice versa)
  • colored patterns (summary boxes of objects) are MatrixPlot of corresponding matrix of each object
POSTED BY: Mads Bahrami

Can you briefly comment or point to examples/demos where the different dynamical pictures are utilized in Quantum Computing using the framework? Are there cases where a specific picture is more relevant for a specific type of calculation or algorithm? Does one have the ability to utilize the interaction (Dirac) picture where both operators and states are evolving within the framework? Thanks!
POSTED BY: J. Tate

As of now, we have fully implemented Schrodinger picture.

POSTED BY: Mads Bahrami

Thanks Mads.

I have a request. Time permitting, please explain the details of Black Body Radiation in terms of your 'state of the art' terminology.

POSTED BY: Alan White

POSTED BY: Mads Bahrami

Yes. Thank you. I made the journey to the demonstration's web site. The manipulate displays a graph of the equation. I need an explanation in terms of the terminology in your paclet. (If you have time)

POSTED BY: Alan White

As promised, we added "BlochVector" for QuantumState as QuantumState[{"BlochVector",{rx,ry,rz}}]. For example:

r = {.5, .5, 0};
state1 = QuantumState[{"BlochVector", r}];
state2 = 
  QuantumState[
   1/2 (IdentityMatrix[2] + r . Table[PauliMatrix[i], {i, 3}])];
state1 == state2

How do you treat quantum decoherence process in the framework of the quantumOperatorTime Evolution ? Do you have examples with the Lindblad superoperator for Markov decoherence process ?

Thank you for your very interesting webinar on quantum computing.

  1. It would be helpful to discuss a relation between the QC's way of thinking and the non-binary (excluded middle) logic. Can one say that in QC logic the "middle" is included and it is multi-state?
  2. Also, can you discuss in some details the Deutsch’s problem? I read his wonderful book "The beginning of Infinity" (Highly recommend) and now realized that he had also make a fundamental contribution to QC.

Thank you for the insightful class. M

This afternoon (Lecture 3) could you please add more on: the (tensor derivation) of the post measurement “"Formula" “State Association” (Is it self explanatory?) and "Probability"

I would be very happy with just one example measurement worked though with vectors and matrices

psa>I would be very happy with just one example measurement worked though with vectors and matrices (the circuit gates seem trivial by conparison)

Despite my other posts, this is still my priority

In the teleportation example, can you explain more of

QuantumTensorProduct[QuantumState[{\[Alpha], \[Beta]}],  QuantumState["PhiPlus"]]

Here I understand the tensor but little else!

Since some users request a palette for quantum framework, we have added one. Note we will populate it more with more buttons etc for more functionalities we have in quantum framework :-) So now, if you install the paclet, then under "Palettes" you can find "QuantumFrameworkPalette"

Special thanks to @Nikolay Murzin

We've also added template for quantum functions, similar to other Wolfram Language functions. We will work on it more, to include more details.

Does "1.03" have "yesterday" changes that may cause isses? e.g. after "steps=" where the 6th state is now invalid

ops = {QuantumOperator["H"], QuantumOperator["CX"], 
   QuantumOperator["H"], QuantumOperator["H", {2}], 
   QuantumMeasurementOperator[], QuantumMeasurementOperator[{2}]};
qc = QuantumCircuitOperator[ops];
qc["Diagram"]
steps = ComposeList[ops, QuantumState[{"Register", 2}]]

My apologies - the issue was probably my own "mis-use" of the language which then was effected by changes on Tues or Wed.

My "debugging" code attempted to display "Formula" for all results i.e both QuantumState and QuantumMeasurement. The result for QuantumMeasurement is now "less concise" and I can happily avoid it: QuantumMeasuremen[...]["ProbabilityTable"]//Normal is what I wanted anyway.

But, as I you found in the last lecture, bugs can be introduced in the development packlet. Is there a simply way to load a previous version?

For Friday review The WP article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm  says: In 2019 an attempt was made to factor the number 35 using Shor's algorithm on an IBM Q System One, but the algorithm failed because of accumulating errors.[12] "In 2019 an attempt was made to factor the number 35 using Shor's algorithm on an IBM Q System One, but the algorithm failed because of accumulating errors.[12] "

Question: what are the sources of errors specific for QC? "Just" fluctuations?  What are the approaches to fighting  them ? (in addition to reaching - 273K :), shielding from EM fields and vibrations, etc). Thanks.
POSTED BY: Michael Partensky

After last update (the version is 12.3) i got the message : "PacletInstall::compat: The paclet Wolfram/QuantumFramework was successfully installed, but it will not be available in this session because it is not compatible with the currently running version of the Wolfram system".

Could you fix it please ? Thanks.

Currently the gates on Quantum Computers are not stable and produce errors . If you run a small circuit on the IBM experience at https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/ eg the 00 Bell state on real hardware ( in this case 5 qubit ibm-bogata quantum computer) then you should get the 50/50 probabilities as shown by the IBM experience. In reality if you run the circuit say 100 runs you will not get that 50/50 Probabilities and to achieve that 50/50 probability you may need to run the circuit say maybe 8024 times to approach the 50/50 average .

enter image description here

To make the gates more stable you will need to implement quantum error correction which means you need to add a number of physical qubits just to implement the quantum error correction eg According to the quantum Hamming bound, encoding a single logical qubit and providing for arbitrary error correction in a single qubit requires a minimum of 5 physical qubits.

So even if you want to build a quantum computer to factor the number 15 a large number of physical qubits will be needed for QER to implement the logical qubits.
see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physicalandlogical_qubits

running the 2 qubit entangled circuit 100 times on a real quantum device you can see the errors |01> and |10> turning up enter image description here

if this is the errors for a 2 qubit , 2 gate set up can you imagine the errors accumulating if you go to a 10 qubit circuit with say 20 gates. Error correction qubits will be needed to remove these errors

Hi, Mads and Jamie. Could you please let me know what should be accomplished for certification in addition to participation? Thanks. M
POSTED BY: Michael Partensky

A certificate of attendance is offered for this Study Group, which requires that you have attended online sessions or logged time watching the session recordings. Both require registration in order to record your participation. The final session survey gave everyone an opportunity to request a certificate. If you missed that, then please contact wolfram-u@wolfram.com to request one.

Hi! Should I need to run << Wolfram`QuantumFramework` at the start of each notebook I want to use the Quantum Framework? I installed the paclet with PacletInstall as described in the first session, but the paclet doesn't seem to load automatically, I have to run this command.

Just curious, since I noticed the session notebooks don't have a line to load the paclet at the top.

POSTED BY: Aidan Montare

Hi! Thanks a lot for the nice discussion on the new framework @Mads Bahrami. If possible I would like to know if there is a way to differentiate the parameterized gates. I know in principle one could define a parameter-shift rule but I was wondering if the possibility of taking "circuit derivatives" is built-in inside the framework. The reason I'm asking about it is that many of the NISQ algorithms are variational in their nature. Thanks once again :)
