Explanation of Solution

Computer architectures supported by Windows 8.1:

Two computer architectures supported by Windows 8.1 are as follows:

  • Intel Computer architecture
  • Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) computer architecture

Intel Computer architecture:

  • Intel computer is referred to as a multi-core or multiprocessor computer architecture.
  • It is designed by Intel to overcome the disadvantages in Pentium pro. Thus, Intel improves the efficiency with small pipelining with lower clock rate.
  • The core processor in Intel provides efficient decoding stages in pipelining, efficient caches and buses which reduces the power consumption by core processor.
  • With these different features, Intel computer architecture is supported by many Operating systems.
  • Windows 8.1 is one of the operating systems which uses Intel for its installation and usage.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Computer architecture:

  • AMD is a company which offers different components used by the computer like microprocessors, microcontrollers, motherboard chipsets, different graphic processors and embedded processors for various embedded applications...

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…
