Assignment 1

CPP: Quantum Computing

December, 2024

Here is the assignment for the first week of the course ! For the theory questions , you can either
write them down, or LATEX them. For the coding questions, you can submit either a Python file or
a Jupyter Notebook (ipynb file)

The instructions to submit the assignment will be given shortly :)


1. We’re going to give you some matrices, and your job is to find their eigenvalues (no calculator
, and write down how you find them, because that is what we want to know)
     

 (c) 15 12 10 8 

2. Suppose that O is a (orthogonally) diagonalizable operator with eigenvalues ±1 Show that

I ±O
P±1 =
2
where Pλ is the projector on the eigenspace of O associated with eigenvalue λ. (Even though
this is an exercise in the reference, it’s pretty nice and relevant, so here you go)
3. Let V be a finite dimensional inner product space, and let A be an operator on V. The follow-
ing are equivalent:
Prove that an operator that is norm preserving (for every vector x ∈ V, | Ax | = | x | is equiva-
lent to a unitary operator.
Hint : Try using the fact that the below condition is also equivalent to the above two :

⟨ Ax | Ay⟩ = ⟨ x |y⟩

for all x, y ∈ V
4. Write code (using qiskit) to plot the following states on the Bloch Sphere

|0⟩ + |1⟩ |0⟩ − |1⟩


|0⟩ , |1⟩ , √ , √
2 2
Justify their directions, and do you notice some similarities among the first two and the last
two?
|000⟩+|
√ 111⟩
5. Make a Quantum Circuit (code it up in qiskit) that prepares the state from |000⟩
2
and only with basic gates such as H, X and CNOT gates.
|00⟩+|
√ 11⟩
Hint : First prepare the state and try to generalise it
2
|0...0⟩+|
√ 1...1⟩ ?
Can you generalise this further to prepare the state
