Abstract: From a quantum program a first mutant is generated using a processor and a memory, where the first mutant is a randomly-generated transformation of the quantum program. A quality score, a correctness distance, and a probability of acceptance corresponding to the first mutant are computed. An acceptance corresponding to the first mutant is determined according to the probability of acceptance. Upon determining that an acceptance of the first mutant corresponding to the probability of acceptance exceeds an acceptance threshold, the quantum program is replaced with the first mutant. Upon determining that the quality score exceeds a storage threshold and that the correctness distance is zero, the first mutant is stored. These actions are iterated until reaching an iteration limit.

Abstract: Embodiments use quantum conditional logic in the Quantum Phase Estimation Algorithm (QPEA) to compute eigenvalues prior to inversion. Embodiments estimate the eigenvalues of a unitary, U=eiÂt, generated by a N×N Hermitian matrix Â. The binary representations of the n-bit estimations of eigenvalues of  may be encoded in these states: |?i=|b1b2 . . . bn; ?i is an estimation of the i-th eigenvalue, excluding degeneracy, and .b1b2 . . . bn is its binary representation. To perform the eigenvalue inversion, an n-qubit controlled Ry rotation with angle ?i/2(n?1) conditioned on seeing |b1b2 . . . bn is applied for each possible n-bit binary string b1b2 . . . bn (2n values). The overall unitary is called a “uniformly controlled Ry rotation” in literature.
