Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for reducing the number of shots required to perform a noisy circuit simulation. A noise model, such as the Pauli noise model or the Kraus noise model, is applied to each shot of the quantum circuit, where the noise model randomly selects a gate operation to be performed in simulating the quantum circuit. A subset of shots are identified (e.g., shot numbers 1 and 3), where each of the selected subset of shots has the same gate operation(s) selected by the noise model to be performed in simulating the quantum circuit. A single simulation of the quantum circuit will then be performed for such a subset of shots using the selected gate operation (e.g., Pauli Z gate) for such a group of shots. In this manner, the number of shots required to perform a noisy circuit simulation is reduced.

Abstract: Objects are to provide a display device the power consumption of which is reduced, to provide a self-luminous display device the power consumption of which is reduced and which is capable of long-term use in a dark place. A circuit is formed using a thin film transistor in which a highly-purified oxide semiconductor is used and a pixel can keep a certain state (a state in which a video signal has been written). As a result, even in the case of displaying a still image, stable operation is easily performed. In addition, an operation interval of a driver circuit can be extended, which results in a reduction in power consumption of a display device. Moreover, a light-storing material is used in a pixel portion of a self-luminous display device to store light, whereby the display device can be used in a dark place for a long time.
