Triggering Superposition in Practical Quantum Circuits

In practical quantum circuits such as those for solving a system of Boolean equations, we have qubits that represent the system’s variables, the primary or independent qubits, and those that are the “working,” orsecondary qubits. For example, in the quantum circuit that represents the schedule of performers in the Bellagio Constraints, only qubits q[0] and q[2] represent the performer’s schedule; the others are working or intermediate qubits required to correctly model the constraints in the quantum circuit, as shown here:

Thus, we only need to place the primary qubits q[0] and q[2] into ...
