Single-qubit universal classifier implemented on an ion-trap quantum device

Understand

Quantum computers can provide solutions to classically intractable problems under specific and adequate conditions.

• However, current devices have only limited computational resources, and an effort is made to develop useful quantum algorithms under these circumstances.
• This work experimentally demonstrates that a single-qubit device can host a universal classifier.
• The quantum processor used in this work is based on ion traps, providing highly accurate control on small systems.
