Abstract
Quantum computing is currently considered to be a new type of computing model that has a subversive impact on the future. Based on its leading information and communication technology advantages, IBM launched IBM Q Experience cloud service platform, and achieved phased research results in the quantum simulator and programming framework. In this paper, we propose a quantum solution for the 3-SAT problem, which includes three steps: constructing the initial state, computing the unitary implementing the black-box function and performing the inversion about the average. In addition, the corresponding experimental verification for an instance of the Exactly-1 3-SAT problem with QISKit, which can connect to IBM Q remotely, is depicted. The experimental result not only show the feasibility of the quantum solution, but also serve to evaluate the functionality of IBM Q devices.
