|q⟩ Bad Qubits

← Question Bank

Predict the output
Run 1024 seeded shots of this circuit (seed 7828). Predict how many give |01⟩. Estimate P(|01⟩) × 1024 and pick the closest option.
⚛ The apparatus
const gamma = Math.PI / 2;
const beta  = Math.PI / 8;
const c = circuit(2);
// Uniform superposition
c.h(0); c.h(1);
// Cost unitary: implements exp(i * gamma * Z0Z1 / 2) up to global phase
c.cx(0, 1);
c.rz(-gamma, 1);
c.cx(0, 1);
// Mixer unitary: exp(-i * beta * (X0 + X1)) = Rx(2*beta) tensor Rx(2*beta)
c.rx(2 * beta, 0);
c.rx(2 * beta, 1);
return c;

Commit your prediction for counts of |01⟩ over 1024 shots — then run it.
