Questions

  1. This chapter’s Quantum operations for teleportation section presents the equations that show why teleportation works. What happens in these equations if the initial state of Alice’s qubit is |0? What happens if the initial state is |1?
  2. In Figure 6.10, Alice’s qubit starts in state 0.8228 |0 + 0.5683 |1. Modify this chapter’s generate_amplitudes function as follows:
    def generate_amplitudes():
        alpha = 0.8228
        beta = 0.5683
        return alpha, beta

With this version of generate_amplitudes, what happens when you call the add_gates function? Why?

  1. Write Qiskit code to create a circuit of the following kind:

I’ve blurred out the initial amplitudes of Alice’s qubit because you should generate those values randomly.

Run this circuit several times to convince yourself that Bob’s qubit...
