Here is a snippet of a code I am writing in Q#(QDK by Microsoft) trying to program the HHL algorithm.
` operation PrepareBState(register: Qubit[], coefficients: Double[]): Unit is Adj + Ctl {
let n = Length(register);
if (n != Length(coefficients)) {
fail "The length of coefficients array must match the number of qubits.";
}
// Normalize the coefficients
let norm = Sqrt(Sum([x * x | x in coefficients]));
mutable normalizedCoefficients = coefficients;
for (i in 0 .. Length(coefficients) - 1) {
set normalizedCoefficients w/= i <- coefficients[i] / norm;
}
// Prepare |b⟩ state using the normalized coefficients
for (i in 0 .. n - 1) {
Ry(2.0 * ArcCos(normalizedCoefficients[i]), register[i]);
}
}`
However each time I get the following errors “syntax error: expected )
, found keyword in
(Qsc.Parse.Token)”, “syntax error: expected }
, found keyword for
(Qsc.Parse.Token)” and “syntax error: expected EOF, found }
(Qsc.Parse.Token)”
I wonder if anyone knows what those errors mean or how to fix them
I tried using list comprehension syntax in Q# to compute the sum of squares of the coefficients. I thought that this should resolve the syntax error on the normalization line. But alas, it does not.
