Creating your first classical/quantum application (Simon's)

In this section, we will incorporate a lot of what we have learned so far to create a classical/quantum application to solve a problem using Simon's algorithm. The problem is provided in the next section.

Stating Simon's problem

Consider a two-to-one function that connects the results of two input values by XORing each input with a secret string, s. This can be represented as .

We can define this problem using a truth table expression and constructing an Oracle and then leverage Simon's algorithm to solve the problem as 0110. Now, let's implement Simon's algorithm to solve the value, s.

Implementing Simon's algorithm

Simon's algorithm allows us to search for the secret string that connects the results via a two-to-many function. In this example, the values are XORed with s, where s will be set to 11. Let's work on solving this using Qiskit Aqua's built-in components...
