Practical Experience with IBM Q Quantum Computer: Bernstein–Vazirani Algorithm

Abstract

This study presents practical experience implementing the Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm on the IBM Q quantum computing platform, focusing on energy-efficient and reversible computation guided by Landauer’s principle. The work highlights the role of fundamental quantum logic gates—including CNOT, NOT, CCNOT, OR, and XOR—in constructing scalable, reversible circuits. By applying these principles, the Bernstein–Vazirani algorithm demonstrates an efficient solution to the problem of determining a hidden binary vector with a minimal number of queries, showcasing the potential for quantum computational speedup and optimization of information processing. The research emphasizes the importance of reversible quantum operations in improving computational efficiency and expanding the capabilities of modern quantum systems.
