Quantum circuit for realizing the quantum gradient descent algorithm. and are the initial states of the ancillary system and the work system, respectively, the controlled operations of the ancillary system acting on the work system are , and denotes Hadamard gates. At the end of the circuit, the final state of the ancillary register is measured. If all ancillary qubits are measured in , then the work system collapses in .
