Explain differences between simulating and running on real hardware

epelaaez opened this issue · 1 comments

Some circuits don't behave the same way when simulating them and when running them in real hardware (in this case IBM's quantum computers). The following additions need to be done to the README files of each circuit mentioned:

  • Swap test: explain why it doesn't work as reliable when run on real hardware and the alternatives there are to counter this.
  • Teleportation: explain the modifications that need to be done in order to run this circuit in IBM's hardware.
  • Phase kickback: explain why we running it on real hardware won't give us the same insights we can get when using Qiskit's statevector simulator.

Solved with #3.
