Investigation of Quantum Adder Error Rate on IBM Quantum Systems
Cayden Tu, Anthony J. Hoffman · Journal of Student Research · 2022
This paper reports the results of an investigation into the performance of quantum addition operations carried out by two quantum adders. These algorithms were run on IBM quantum computers and simulated with a noise model on Qiskit. Following this experimentation, we studied the rates of errors and the differences between the two adders. This study illuminated the benefits and drawbacks of the adders as well as the capabilities of a noise simulation consisting of coupling and basis gates noise to emulate real hardware. Our work provides additional data to inform the development of more efficient addition algorithms aimed at helping minimize error rates.
