|q⟩ Bad Qubits

← Question Bank

Predict the output
This circuit is sampled for 1024 shots on the seeded simulator (seed 2248). How many of the shots come out |0⟩? Estimate P(|0⟩) × 1024 and pick the closest option.
⚛ The apparatus
const s = 0.5;
// Ground state of H(s) = -(1-s)X - sZ has Bloch vector along (1-s, 0, s).
// RY(theta)|0> produces Bloch (sin theta, 0, cos theta), so:
const theta = Math.atan2(1 - s, s);
const c = circuit(1);
c.ry(theta, 0);
return c;

Commit your prediction for counts of |0⟩ over 1024 shots — then run it.
