HHL eigenvalue inversion step with larger number of clock qubits that number of eigenvalues
Reading about the HHL algorithm (this paper/arXiv and this paper/arXiv) I came up with the following question: if I have, say, 2 eigenvalues for which I need, say, 5 qubits for the best QPE algorithm, ...

HHL with eigenvalues that are not integer multiples
Pretty much all implementations of the HHL algorithms support cases where it is possible to map the eigenvalues not just to integers, but to powers of 2. Power of 2 map nicely to individual bits in an ...

Why should the inverse phase estimation in HHL change the ket $|b\rangle$?
In HHL the forward phase estimation allows to set the phases of eigenvalues. It does not change the input ket $|b\rangle$ as far as this is a combination of the eigenvalues of the operator (and ...

HHL eigenvalue inversion and further inverse QPE
Reading the paper (arXiv) about HHL I misunderstood the following points:
$$|{x}\rangle = A^{-1} \cdot |b\rangle = \sum^{2^nb-1}_{i=0}\lambda_i^{-1}b_i|u_i\rangle$$
How do we inverse the eigenvalues? ...

Modify a quantum state prepared with HHL [closed]
I can prepare a state $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle$ using HHL. How do I prepare $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle+|0\rangle|y\rangle|0\rangle$ or simply $|1\rangle|x\rangle|0\rangle+|0\rangle|0\rangle|0\...

Why does QPE still produce phase eigenvalues in HHL even though it operates on non-eigenvectors?
I'm trying to understand mathematical intuition of HHL algorithm using original paper (arXiv)
For now I stuck at the part of Phase estimation. If I understand correctly, if vector b is the eigenvector ...

How to construct the HHL oracle circuit when the entries of $A$ are described by a polynomial?
Among other assumptions, HHL's algorithm assumes that the entries of the coefficient matrix $A$ (where $Ax=b$ is the linear system to be solved) can be realized by means of an oracle circuit $U_A$. ...
