    [BUG] Error in grader

    Node number

    Codercise I.14.2

    Expected behavior

    IMPLEMENT THE MULTIPLEXER
    IF STATE OF FIRST TWO QUBITS IS 01, APPLY X TO THIRD QUBIT

    qml.MultiControlledX(control_wires=[0,1], wires=2, control_values='01') The above code should result in the desired behaviour, that is, give the correct output.

    Actual behavior

    Incorrect: your circuit does not have the correct action on |01>.

    Is however, the error being raised!

    [BUG] Finishing node backward will mark succeeding node incomplete

    Node number

    Node I

    Expected behavior

    When finishing lessons in Node A before Node I, Node A should still be marked as complete.

    Actual behavior

    Node A will get back to an incomplete state (white circle) when it was finishing before Node I.

    Additional information

    I finished Node A before Node I. Node I is marked as complete (green circle). However, Node A (which previously finished) is not anymore.

    I am not certain about other node (like if you do the lesson backward, etc.). You might have to check them as well.

  • Wrong solution Codercise I.7.3

    Wrong solution Codercise I.7.3

    Feature details

    In Codercise I.7.3, the solution accepted as correct seems to be the wrong one.

    In the explanation following the question, 2 solutions are presented as being the only possible ones, and the second one (HTTHTH) is indicated as the correct one. However, the submission for the previous question only accepts the first one (HTHTTH) as the right answer.

    I worked out the math, and can confirm that the second one (HTTHTH) is the right answer as indicated in the text but not in the accepted solution to the codercise.

  • Incorrect Action of RY on Computational Basis States in I.6

    Incorrect Action of RY on Computational Basis States in I.6

    Feature details

    Hi there,

    There is a small error in the left panel equation display of the action of $RY(\theta)$ on the computational basis states in I.6 (in the discussion after codercise I.6.3). The sign of the $\sin(\theta/2)$ terms is reversed.

    Note that the expressions for this are correct in the corresponding place in the right "textbook" panel (end of the solution to exercise I.6.3).

  • [EDIT] I1.10 Incorrect analytical expectation value

    [EDIT] I1.10 Incorrect analytical expectation value

    Feature details

    Solution to Exercise I.10.2.c is given as 3.022769, but using Wolfram Alpha to calculate the provided matrix multiplication suggests that the answer should be -0.302769 instead.

    Using Pennylane to measure

    dev = qml.device("default.qubit", wires=1)
        @qml.qnode(dev)
        def qf():
            qml.MottonenStatePreparation([4 / 5, -3 / 5 * np.e ** (1j * np.pi / 3)], 0)
            return qml.expval(qml.Hermitian(np.array([[1, -2 * 1j], [2 * 1j, 2]]), 0))
    print(qf())
    

    also yields -0.3027687752661218

    [EDIT] Minor typo in codebook text, node G.4

    Node number

    Node G.4, Exercise Exercise G.4.1

    Current content

    In the solution of Exercise G.4.1, item (a):

    The first term in the equation read $\left ( U \left | u\right \rangle \right )^\dagger \left | v\right \rangle$, but there's a $U$ missing, acting on $\left | v\right \rangle$

    Expected content

    The first term in the equation should be:

    $\left ( U \left | u\right \rangle \right )^\dagger U \left | v\right \rangle$

    Or even

    $\left ( U \left | u\right \rangle \right )^\dagger \left ( U \left | v\right \rangle \right )$

  • T-depth = 5 in Codercise I.5.4

    T-depth = 5 in Codercise I.5.4

    Node number

    Codercise I.5.4

    Current content

    The depth of the original circuit is 8, and there are 13 combined T and T† gates. The original T-depth is 6.

    Expected content

    The original T-depth should be 5 since the second qubit has a maximum of 5 T gates in a row.

  • [BUG] in codercise I.1.2

    [BUG] in codercise I.1.2

    Node number

    Node I.1, codercises I.1.2

    Expected behavior

    Codercise I.1.2 should throw an error if user mistakenly submits the inner product <state_2 | state_1> instead of <state_1 | state_2>.

    Possible solution: Have grader use complex-valued states for which <state_1 | state_2> != <state_1 | state_1>

    Actual behavior

    Grader passes even if user submits answer for <state_2 | state_1>.

    Additional information

    For example, the grader passes if user inputs:

        ##################
        # YOUR CODE HERE #
        ##################
    
        # COMPUTE AND RETURN THE INNER PRODUCT
    
        return  np.vdot(state_2,state_1)
    

    or

        ##################
        # YOUR CODE HERE #
        ##################
    
        # COMPUTE AND RETURN THE INNER PRODUCT

  • [BUG] in codercise I.1.1

    [BUG] in codercise I.1.1

    Node number

    Node I.1, codercises I.1.1

    Expected behavior

    Codercise I.1.1 should throw an error if user normalizes state without taking the norm of the complex amplitudes.

    Possible solution: Have grader use complex-valued variables to check answers.

    Actual behavior

    Grader passes even if normalization constant is not calculated correctly (a^2 + b^2 = 1 instead of |a'|^2 + |b'|^2 = 1`).

    Additional information

    For example, the grader passes if user inputs:

        # CREATE A VECTOR [a', b'] BASED ON alpha AND beta SUCH THAT |a'|^2 + |b'|^2 = 1
        norm_psi = np.array([alpha,beta])/np.sqrt(alpha**2+beta**2)
        # RETURN A VECTOR
        return norm_psi
    

    or

        # CREATE A VECTOR [a', b'] BASED ON alpha AND beta SUCH THAT |a'|^2 + |b'|^2 = 1
        psi = np.array([alpha,beta])
        norm_psi = psi/np.sqrt(np.dot(psi,psi))
        # RETURN A VECTOR
        return norm_psi
    

    The correct implementations should be:

        # CREATE A VECTOR [a', b'] BASED ON alpha AND beta SUCH THAT |a'|^2 + |b'|^2 = 1
        norm_psi = np.array([alpha,beta])/np.sqrt(abs(alpha)**2+abs(beta)**2)
        # RETURN A VECTOR
        return norm_psi
    

    or

        # CREATE A VECTOR [a', b'] BASED ON alpha AND beta SUCH THAT |a'|^2 + |b'|^2 = 1
        psi = np.array([alpha,beta])
        norm_psi = psi/np.sqrt(np.dot(psi,psi))
        # RETURN A VECTOR
        return norm_psi
