You are given a qubit which is guaranteed to be in one of the following states:
- \(|A\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \big( |0\rangle + |1\rangle \big)\),
- \(|B\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \big( |0\rangle + \omega |1\rangle \big)\), or
- \(|C\rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \big( |0\rangle + \omega^2 |1\rangle \big)\), where \(\omega = e^{2i\pi/3}\).
These states are not orthogonal, and thus can not be distinguished perfectly. Your task is to figure out in which state the qubit is not. More formally:
- If the qubit was in state \(|A\rangle\), you have to return 1 or 2.
- If the qubit was in state \(|B\rangle\), you have to return 0 or 2.
- If the qubit was in state \(|C\rangle\), you have to return 0 or 1.
- In other words, return 0 if you're sure the qubit was not in state \(|A\rangle\), return 1 if you're sure the qubit was not in state \(|B\rangle\), and return 2 if you're sure the qubit was not in state \(|C\rangle\).
Your solution will be called 1000 times, each time the state of the qubit will be chosen as \(|A\rangle\), \(|B\rangle\) or \(|C\rangle\) with equal probability. The state of the qubit after the operations does not matter.
You have to implement an operation which takes a qubit as an input and returns an integer. Your code should have the following signature:
namespace Solution {
open Microsoft.Quantum.Primitive;
open Microsoft.Quantum.Canon;
operation Solve (q : Qubit) : Int {
// your code here
}
}
