Quantum computing is at the leading edge of advanced technology that uses quantum phenomena such as entanglement and super position to solve complex problems. One of the main application is to built comparator circuit to do arithmetic operations at stipulated time. Based on this our research is to propose the design and implementation of one-bit and two-bit quantum comparators using IBM Qiskit, which is formly compared with classical comparator. Also this work represents a comprehensive overview of the techniques required to optimize and design quantum comparator circuits using real quantum simulators. The results obtained from simulation promises the comparison accuracy with classical results. From the circuit designed it is inferred that the hardware complexity is very much reduced compared to classical comparator, which are tabulated in terms of number of quantum gates. The proposed method can further be extended to generate higher order comparator circuits. These results may form the basis for further research and development that will support the advancement of quantum computing and algorithms.
