HiddenLinearFunction
class HiddenLinearFunction(adjacency_matrix)
Bases: qiskit.circuit.quantumcircuit.QuantumCircuit
Circuit to solve the hidden linear function problem.
The 2D Hidden Linear Function problem is determined by a 2D adjacency matrix A, where only elements that are nearest-neighbor on a grid have non-zero entries. Each row/column corresponds to one binary variable .
The hidden linear function problem is as follows:
Consider the quadratic form
and restrict onto the nullspace of A. This results in a linear function.
and the goal is to recover this linear function (equivalently a vector ). There can be multiple solutions.
In [1] it is shown that the present circuit solves this problem on a quantum computer in constant depth, whereas any corresponding solution on a classical computer would require circuits that grow logarithmically with . Thus this circuit is an example of quantum advantage with shallow circuits.

List[Clbit]
data
Return the circuit data (instructions and context).
Returns
a list-like object containing the tuples for the circuit’s data.
Each tuple is in the format (instruction, qargs, cargs), where instruction is an Instruction (or subclass) object, qargs is a list of Qubit objects, and cargs is a list of Clbit objects.

metadata
The user provided metadata associated with the circuit
The metadata for the circuit is a user provided dict of metadata for the circuit. It will not be used to influence the execution or operation of the circuit, but it is expected to be passed between all transforms of the circuit (ie transpilation) and that providers will associate any circuit metadata with the results it returns from execution of that circuit.
