Hints for part d) of question 4: The required calculation is very similar to the calculation of the transmission coefficient T for the Finite Potential Barrier given in lectures, but with a different wavenumber in the region to the right of the barrier. After applying the boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = L, you may choose to simplify the expression you find for the transmission coefficient, T. In doing this a useful result is that the modulus-squared of f = αβ e−kLˆ − α ∗β ∗ e kLˆ , where α ≡ ˆk + ik and β ≡ ˆk + iq, is given by |f| 2 = 4(ˆk 2 + k 2 )(ˆk 2 + q 2 ) sinh2 ( ˆkL) + 4ˆk 2 (k + q) 2 .

- You will now show that we can always convert quantum circuits with internal measurements into quantum circuits where all measurements occur at the end. This is nice because, as we know, a circuit without measurements just corresponds to multiplication by a unitary matrix. So suppose you have an n-qubit quantum circuit that does some internal measurements, and suppose the first measurement is at step t. It measures the state of the kth qubit in the standard basis and outputs a classical bit 6 € {0, 1} and the corresponding state collapses to the outcome. Now make two changes: 1. Introduce an (n + 1)st qubit to the circuit 2. Replace the measurement on qubit k by a CNOT gate whose control is the kth bit and the target bit is the new (n + 1)st qubit. Solve the following: (i) Show that this exactly simulates the original circuit's operation.
