Inaccuracy in Multiplication Algorithm #16

Closed WildJimmy closed 11 months ago

WildJimmy commented 11 months ago

Hi All,

While my algorithm does return a number, it tends to be very inaccurate. I know this is partially due to the nature of quantum computing, but I also know there's ways to combat this. I will continue to research ways to refine it, but please let me know if anything occurs to you

I've the same problem Are you working on Multiplication Function ???

yasmensarhan27 commented 11 months ago

Unfortunately, I think QC can't do the classical multiplication function

They can only do the Quantum Multiplication process

WildJimmy commented 11 months ago

Yes we are. I think it may have something to do with increasing the number of iterations, but I'm looking into it further and how to implement that

yasmensarhan27 commented 11 months ago

When I searched for this, I got the following response: "There is no such thing as classical multiplication using quantum computers. Quantum computers are fundamentally different from classical computers, and they cannot be used to perform classical algorithms."

@yasmensarhan27 It is always useful, (if not necessary) to add references to your quotes

WildJimmy commented 11 months ago

I probably should have closed this before, but I figured I'd add here that the issues #34 and #40 should give a reasonable idea of how this functions (and it returns the right result!)
