Explanation of Solution

Optimal solution:

  • Consider the job grading of Indiana University. Job at IU is rated on the following factors:
    • Factor 1: Complexity of duties
    • Factor 2: Education required
    • Factor 3: Mental or visual demands
  • To determine grade of each job its point value and desired score is tabulated.
  • Given table:
 Factor level  
Job123Desired score
1444105
233293
322275
411268
  • Let the variables x1,x2,x3,x4, be the point total assigned level 1,2,3,4, respectively. The given goals are:
    • Goal 1: When increasing the level of a factory by one, the points should increase by at least 10.
    • So the constraint equations become
      • x2x110
      • x3x210
      • x4x310
    • It is observed that for those set of constraint equations are:
      • x2x1+s1+s1=10
      • x3x2+s2+s2=10
      • x4x3+s3+s3=10
    • Goal 2: Difference between actual point total for each job and desired score should be minimum.
    • So the constraint equations are:
      • 3x4+s4+s4=105
      • 2x3+x2+s5+s5=93
      • 3x2+s6+s6=75
      • x2+2x1+s7+s7=68
    • Any deviation from the desired score is not desirable. So both si+ and si should be included. To minimize total deviation, the following should be minimized:
      • d=s4+s4+s5+s5+s6+s6+s7+s7
    • It is observed that these set of constraints do not belong to a feasible region. That is all constraints cannot be met. Hence, a cost value is assigned which is incurred if any of the goal is not met. So, introduce deviational variables as follows.
      • si+=Amount by which we numerically exceed the ith goal.
      • si=Amount by which we are numerically under the ith goal

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…
