Quantum Computer Casts Yi Qing Oracle
Yi Qing oracle is cast by some using three coins. 3 qubits in superposition represent the three coins. The most prevalent result of multiple measurement runs becomes the "coin toss".
The oracle has an inline quantum program which is used by default.
Optionally, with the -f FILEPATH switch, you can provide your own OPENQASM 2.0 quantum program returning 3
classical bits. Two sample programs are provided for this purpose, yiqing_inline.qasm and yiqing_simple.qasm
You must have QISKit installed.
To use IBM Q Experience online devices and/or simulator(s), you must have an account from IBM Q Experience .
To use QI support you must also have installed the Quantum Inspire SDK and have a token provided with your account from the QuTech website.
To use QCGPU support you must also have installed qisit-qcgpu-provider
