[WSG22] Daily Study Group: Quantum Computation Framework (Jan 24, 2022)

enter image description here enter image description here A new study group devoted to Quantum Computation Framework begins Monday Jan 24th! A list of daily topics can be found on our Daily Study Groups page. This group will be led by me and few other developers from Wolfram Quantum Team. We will meet daily, Monday to Friday. Study group sessions include time for exercises, discussion and Q&A. This study group will help you acquire an intro knowledge of quantum computing and learn how to implement quantum algorithms in the Wolfram Quantum Computation Framework. Feel free to explore our framework.

The implementation of the quantum teleportation circuit in WQF lectures is not strictly correct

enter image description here

Alice sends bob her classic measurements and bob applies these to his qubit , In qiskit

enter image description here

The qiskit code is

enter image description here

Can I implement this in WQF ?

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 :)

Thanks! I followed those instructions--the documentation still doesn't seem to be available locally, but it's not a big deal to go to the web version.

I also noticed I don't have the paclet documentation installed locally, so perhaps I'm missing a step?

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.

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.

Please note that we resolved the mirror issue we had during the last lecture, so everything should work fine now

How do you display the action of a beam splitter? While the two outputs are coherent, there is a spatial separation. In this connection, have you discussed interaction free measurement? I couldn't find it. THANK YOU

POSTED BY: Leon Gunther

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?

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

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.

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.

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!

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}]]

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

If you hover your mouse over a function, you can see this icon: enter image description here and after clicking on it, you can see possible templates: enter image description here

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"

  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

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!

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

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)

  • 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

What is the significance of the "Picture" or colored pattern display in the output to QuantumState?
