Explanation of Solution

“No”, it is neither ethical nor legal to broadcast the phone’s location to other parties or strangers without the consent of the consumer.

Introduction to GPS (Global Positional System):

The Global Positioning System termed as GPS, uses satellites to determine the current physical location.

It was originally created by the U.S. Department of Defense to improve military navigation. It is now available for consumer and used in cars, smartcards, handheld computers, and cell phones.

GPS helps to search a desired location for specific landmarks, such as restaurants and gas stations within a specific radius to current location. It also provides convenient turn-by-turn driving instructions to the destination.

Privacy invasion by smartphones due to location sharing:

This technology brings value to its users. However, it has caused a significant decrease in privacy. A combination of GPS data and cell tower triangulation can reveal the current location of smartphone.

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, “Location information collected by cellphone companies can provide an extraordinarily invasive glimpse into the private lives of cellphone users...

I need help to solve a simple problem using Grover’s algorithm, where the solution is not necessarily known beforehand. The problem is a 2×2 binary sudoku with two rules: • No column may contain the same value twice. • No row may contain the same value twice.   Each square in the sudoku is assigned to a variable as follows:   We want to design a quantum circuit that outputs a valid solution to this sudoku. While using Grover’s algorithm for this task is not necessarily practical, the goal is to demonstrate how classical decision problems can be converted into oracles for Grover’s algorithm.   Turning the Problem into a Circuit   To solve this, an oracle needs to be created that helps identify valid solutions. The first step is to construct a classical function within a quantum circuit that checks whether a given state satisfies the sudoku rules.   Since we need to check both columns and rows, there are four conditions to verify: v0 ≠ v1   # Check top row   v2 ≠ v3   # Check bottom row…
