Protest

 Too cute: back in the day - and I lived through it as one of them - baby boomers

demonstrated to end war. Today, campus protesters want universities to change their 

investment policies. How about that!!!

I'm pretty stoked about this: tomorrow morning, I will be submitting my first 'job'

to an IBM 127 qubit quantum computer. My request will go in a queue, I will be assigned

a code for my project, and I can pick up the results later.

The program is short but complex enough; it is Coding with Qiskit Episode3, the

so-called Hello World of Quantum Computing because that is where learning begins.

The set up: 100 qubits are linked in a horizontal line via cnot gates. Quantum circuits

are read by column, from left to right. The presumption is that entanglement

cannot be expected to resist long in such a design, with noise quicky gaining

the upper hand.

                               

                                                                                   

The code:

The result I expect to approximate:

The code calls for using the Brisbane computer (which is in Australia), but I am thinking 

I might do better with the one in Bromont, Quebec!??

GHZ (Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger) are entanglement states in quantum computing...
