I am working on implementing a Draper Adder in Pennylane and I am having issues. The circuit I have created seems identical to the one in the paper, but I am not getting the correct output. I believe I should get qml.sample to return |010> every time, but I am getting very mixed values. If either register was not classically representing the values, I would understand the problem but I’m not sure what is going on here. Anything would help!
