Qiskit result per shot

I want to run a simple circuit with one qubit and a hadamard gate on a Quantum Machine. I want the result of every shot in a list. It works with a simulator and the get_memory function but this ...

What use cases are there for 127 qubit QPUs?

IBM have recently announced their 127 qubit Eagle processor. Other approaches, such as Rydberg arrays, have now 256 qubits, as for example in QuEra's QPU QPU. While these are without a doubt ...

Does a quantum computer exist today? [closed]

I agree that this may not be an easy question to answer. But lately, I increasingly come across the fact that many news materials and research papers in the field of quantum technologies say that at ...

How are the IBM's and Google's Hadamard gates fabricated and operated?

There are thousands of articles, books and web sites describing the Hadamard Gate from a theoretical point of view. But I haven't been able to find any photo about any real implementeation of a ...

Is there a straightforward way to calculate the quantum volume for simple systems?

There are a few people who ask how to calculate IBM's "quantum volume", but it's not clear what the actual mathematical definition of this is. In the answers here, people just point to ...

Dose Quantum threshold theorem apply to IBM Quantum Experience

According to Quantum threshold theorem, error rate can be arbitrarily low. But when I use IBM Quantum Experience to measure a simple $|+\rangle$, it gives result of $|1\rangle$ with probability of 52....

How do you CNOT between qubits faraway from each other?

I'm just curious. Say I have 3 qubits on a straight line 0-1-2. How do you guys (on the IBMQ or Rigetti team for example, or anyone who actually works on quantum computer) entangle 0-2 if I, say, am ...

How to deal with the relative phase from the evaluation of the not interacting qubit?

Every qubit is a realization of some two-level quantum system with $\left| 0 \right\rangle$ and $\left| 1 \right\rangle$ states. These states have their energies $E_0$ and $E_1$ respectively. By ...

Why do the IBM and Google processors both have 53 qubits?

As I understand from this IBM post both the IBM and Google teams have independently built 53-qubit processors. What is the significance of the number 53? It is purely coincidental, or is there a ...

IBM's quantum computing capabilities — entangled 18-qubit GHZ states and high coherence times

Here's a blog post that corresponds with what IBM presented at the 2019 March Meeting. In this post, they claim they've measured qubit T1 relaxation times above 500 microseconds, and claim that they'...

What is the difference in computational power between qubit and bit (transistor)? [duplicate]

If I use for example 5-qubit IBM-Q quantum computer and we accept the law of quantum parallelism ($n$ qubit = $2^n$ ordinary bits), so does it mean that computational power of this computer is equal ...
