SWAP test inputs












2












$begingroup$


I'm using the SWAP test circuit for implementing a qubit registers comparison
enter image description here



From the documentation I could find I've understood it can be applied to input qubits |$alpharangle$ and |$betarangle$ of the same size.



Is that really a constraint? Or it can be also applied to general cases of qubits of different size?

Qubits can be only with a size of 2, which means a dimensionality of 2.



For $|alpha rangle,|betarangle$ here, for the SWAP gate to make sense, they must be of the same dimensionality (in the operating Hilbert space), then only there is a meaningful correspondence for the SWAP to work.



In case if it happens that they are not (suppose one qubit and other qtrit), then the extra degrees of freedom of the qtrit would not take part in the algorithm governed by the Hamiltonian which mimics the SWAP gate.

Yes they should be the same size. Otherwise, if you use it for getting the inner product between them, it would not make sense they aren't.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder.

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
