Rotation resolutions in operations for qubits in commercial implementations

I have found information about Honeywell provider supporting operations with high-resolution rotations (i.e. around $\pi/500$) here. What are typical maximal rotation resolution values supported by existing implementations and what is their…

I would like to use Open QASM 3 what if any backends can I use to?

From my limited understanding Azure Quantum and IBM Qiskit backends do not support OpenQASM 3. However, Amazon Braket does support a subset of Open QASM 3 (proof). What is the best way/backend to test and develop Open QASM 3.0 code? and yes I know I…

How to set the meas_level and optimization_level in Quantum Azure IonQ provider?

I am performing a benchmark process using the Azure Quantum IonQ provider. I use Qiskit in the Azure platform, and I was trying to see how to control the transpiling and compiling process. It seems that just set them into the executing process as…

Is there a fix for the varying numerical gradients calculated in the optimizer with qiskit?

I am currently trying to train a quantum circuit on Qiskit using an Azure QPU. I have some parameterized gates that I optimize using ADAMs. However, as the output of the circuit $f(x)$ is not deterministic, the numerical gradient calculated in the…

Number of logical cycles to implement $R_Z(\theta)$ gates in lattice surgery: why isn't it the number of layers $\times$ the $T$-count in $R_Z$?

Let's assume I want to implement a rotation $R_Z(\theta)$ for a lattice-surgery based computation, for $\theta$ being an arbitrary angle (i.e. the gate is not necessarily Clifford nor a $T$-gate). It can typically be done by Decomposing…

What are the qubit capabilities of Microsoft Azure?

I've always worked on IBM Cloud when I needed to deploy a quantum application to a NISQ devices. However, though not an hardware expert, I was asked to explore Microsoft Azure, which I see offers IonQ and Quantinuum platforms access. I'm however…

What does the Qiskit transpile function do on an Azure Quantum IonQ provider?

I can run a circuit on IonQ through Azure Quantum, but I was wondering if I need to run the transpile function.

Changing the 'compilerRunTimeoutMs' timeout variable on Azure Quantum Resource Estimator

Is there any way to change the variable 'compilerRunTimeoutMs' so that I can increase the timeout for Azure Quantum Resource Estimator. The only way that seems to be an option currently is to build the package from source but I wanted to see if…

How to avoid azure-quantum ionq simulator computing a probability distribution of exponential size?

I am running a 3-qubit simulation using ionq.simulator in azure-quantum. When I send the task, I get the result from one shot + probability distribution that includes all the possible 8 bitstrings. I am not interested in getting a probability…

Q#: how to write an algorithm in modular form (I don't understand the syntax and the documentation is a bit obscure)

I would like to make a resource estimate based on Azure resource estimator. However, the circuits I am interested in depend on some classical parameters: for this reason, I would like to make a modular script with sub-portions of the quantum…
