Explanation of Solution

Given Information: Architecture checklist provided in books is as follows:

  1. Corporate organization and culture
  2. Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
  3. Initial and total cost of ownership (TCO)
  4. Security issues
  5. Scalability
  6. Legacy system interface requirements
  7. Processing options
  8. Web integration
  9. Corporate portals

System analyst must check following list of items before deciding system architecture which can be ranked as below from most important to least important:

  • Initial and total cost of ownership (TCO): System analyst must try to get solutions of different questions which helps in finding initial cost and cost which may add up during the development, which is total cost of ownership. This is most important as this will determine total cost and budget of system.
  • Corporate organization and culture: System architecture must study day-to-day functions of business and users in order to understand corporate organization and culture. This will help in focusing on operational feasibility which will help in deciding other checklist items.
  • Enterprise resource planning (ERP): ERP describes platform: software and hardware environment of system architecture which will decide possibility of scalability and web integration.
  • Security issues: What security system and policy needs to be implemented.
  • Scalability: Determining system ability to expand or downsize according to business requirements.
  • Legacy system interface requirements: One must determine if there is any legacy file system that needs to be part of new system and till what time period it is required. This is required to support processing and web integration.
    • Processing options: Before moving to portal design and web integration processing option must be decided: online or batch processing.
    • Web integration: System analyst must determine what all applications needs to be integrated with web and which one must support e-commerce.
    • Corporate portals: Corporate portals must be included in planning and architecture which becomes entry point of customers, employees, suppliers and others.

    .NET Interactive Solving Sudoku using Grover's Algorithm We will now solve a simple problem using Grover's algorithm, for which we do not necessarily know the solution beforehand. Our problem is a 2x2 binary sudoku, which in our case has two simple rules: •No column may contain the same value twice •No row may contain the same value twice If we assign each square in our sudoku to a variable like so: 1 V V₁ V3 V2 we want our circuit to output a solution to this sudoku. Note that, while this approach of using Grover's algorithm to solve this problem is not practical (you can probably find the solution in your head!), the purpose of this example is to demonstrate the conversion of classical decision problems into oracles for Grover's algorithm. Turning the Problem into a Circuit We want to create an oracle that will help us solve this problem, and we will start by creating a circuit that identifies a correct solution, we simply need to create a classical function on a quantum circuit that…
