Chapter 8, Grover’s Algorithm

      1. It takes 20 qubits to search among 1,000,000 values because 220 = 1,000,000. The number of Grover iterations will be {"mathml":"<math style=\"font-family:stix;font-size:16px;\" xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mstyle mathsize=\"16px\"><mfrac><mi>&#x3C0;</mi><mn>4</mn></mfrac><msqrt><mn>1000000</mn></msqrt><mo>&#xA0;</mo><mo>=</mo><mo>&#xA0;</mo><mfrac><mi>&#x3C0;</mi><mn>4</mn></mfrac><mn>1000</mn><mo>&#xA0;</mo><mo>&#x2248;</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>.</mo><mn>7854</mn><mo>&#xB7;</mo><mn>1000</mn><mo>&#xA0;</mo><mo>=</mo><mo>&#xA0;</mo><mn>804</mn></mstyle></math>"}.

            [0, 0,  0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]
        ]
        entry = random.randint(0, 7)
        print(entry)
        oracle_matrix[entry][entry] = -1
        oracle = QuantumCircuit(3)
        oracle.unitary(oracle_matrix, qubits=[0, 1, 2], label=’oracle’)
