Abstract

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that can facilitate determining a state of a qubit are described. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise an output receiving component that can receive, in response to a request, output representative of a quantum state of a qubit of a quantum computing device, and a classifying component that classifies the quantum state of the qubit of the quantum computing device based on the output representative of the quantum state of the qubit. The system can further include a configuring component that can configure the classifying component based on a characteristic of the request.

a classifying component that is configurable based on a characteristic of the request signal and that classifies the quantum state of the qubit based on the output signal.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the classifying component:
transforms the output signal based on a configuration of the classifying component, resulting in transformed output; and classifies the quantum state of the qubit based on the transformed output.

3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a kernel generating component that generates kernels for storage in a kernel storage.

5 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the classifying component is configured to receive a kernel from the kernel storage to generate a transformed output, wherein the kernel comprises a phase value that does not correspond to a phase of the request signal, and
the classifying component time shifts values of the kernel, resulting in a time shifted kernel having a phase value that corresponds to the phase of the request signal.

6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the classifying component is configured to employ the time shifted kernel.

7 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the classifying component is configured to receive a first kernel with a first phase value that does not correspond to a phase of the request signal and a second kernel with a second phase value that does not correspond to the phase of the request signal from the kernel storage, wherein the sine of the combination of a first phase of the first phase value and a second phase of the second phase value does not equal zero, and
the classifying component generates third kernel based on the first kernel, the second kernel, and sine interpolation factors of the first phase and the second phase, wherein a phase value of the third kernel corresponds to the phase of the request signal.
