We are on the cusp of a new era in computing, where the fundamental units of information processing are no longer classical bits but quantum bits, or qubits. This shift is opening up a vast, new landscape of possibilities for tackling complex mathematical problems that classical computers can’t solve efficiently. To give a case in point,…
Simon’s algorithm provided the first example of an exponential speedup over the best known classical algorithm by using a quantum computer to solve a particular problem. Originally published in 1994, Simon’s algorithm was a precursor to Shor’s well-known factoring algorithm, and it served as inspiration for many of the seminal works in quantum computation that…
A clear guide to the Bernstein-Vazirani Algorithm, extending knowledge from the Deutsch-Jozsa into more complex algorithms. We’ll explore the Problem, Classical and Quantum Solutions, as well as creating circuits, code, and running the algorithm on Quantum Computers with Qiskit. This is a bonus Part 3 to Quantum Algorithm Untangled’s series on the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm. Part…
When learning quantum computing algorithms from a textbook, there is usually a progression from the earliest, simplest algorithms to the later, more complex algorithms. Among the first of these textbook algorithms to be presented is often the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, whose small size and seeming simplicity belie its importance. What is the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm? Using the…
