H.6.3 (b) Controlled Subcircuit

Hello. I cannot find the error in my implementation of the controlled sub-circuit in H6? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @qreg, your solution is very close :slight_smile:

qml.ctrl is a transform that takes an operation or quantum function as input, and returns a function as output in which every gate is controlled by the specified wire:

controlled_function = qml.ctrl(original_function, control=wire)

But this is just a function, it must then be called in order to actually implement the gates.

Please let us know if there’s anything else we can clarify!

Thank you. I have modified the code but still cannot make it work. The attached code results in "Incorrect: your circuit doesn’t give the right amplitudes.

".

Hi @qreg, I think that might be from the second line in subcircuit. If you have a numpy array x and take x ** 2, it will compute the element-wise square. For example,

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> a ** 2
array([[1, 4], [9, 16]])

So you’ll need to make some adjustments in order to get the square of the matrix itself.

(BTW you might also have to remove the pass statement)

Yes, thank you so much, That did it.
