Abstract
Systems and methods for operating quantum systems are described. A controller of a quantum system can generate a command signal. The quantum system can include quantum hardware having a plurality of qubits. An interface of the quantum system can control the quantum hardware based on the command signal to sample an input vector represented by the first set of qubits, where the input vector includes mixed states with different Hamming weights. The interface can control the quantum hardware to entangle the first set of qubits to the second set of qubits, where the second set of qubits represent a count of nonzero elements in the input vector. The interface can control the quantum hardware to generate an output vector based on the entanglement of the first set of qubits to the second set of qubits, where the output vector includes one or more states having a specific Hamming weight.
