Calculation of π on the IBM quantum computer and the accuracy of one-qubit operations

Abstract

A quantum algorithm for the calculation of π is proposed and implemented on the five-qubit IBM quantum computer with superconducting qubits. We find π=3.1570.017. The error is due to the noise of quantum one-qubit operations and measurements. The results can be used for estimating the errors of the quantum computer and suggest that the errors are purely random.
