Project Assistant Professor, Keio Quantum Computing Center
Shin Nishio
Research Assistant, National Institute of Informatics/SOKENDAI
Atsushi Matsuo
Researcher, IBM Quantum
Scores were determined by measuring the circuit implementation cost to solve the final exercise.
Cost is defined as: Cost = S + 10C where S is the number of single-qubit gates and C is the number of CNOT (CX) gates.
Any given quantum circuit can be decomposed into single-qubit gates and two-qubit gates.
With the current Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices, CNOT error rates are generally ten times higher than a single qubit gate.Therefore, we weigh CNOT gates ten times more than a single-qubit gate for evaluating the circuit implementation cost.
The lower the cost, the better.
