Figure 4.4: The quantum circuit to compute the makespan, the maximum running time<br />

among all machines. The output of this circuit is an entangled state.<br />

Cmax<br />

We give an example of such a Max circuit for two 2-qubit inputs x and y as shown in<br />

Figure 4.5. With two ancilla qubits, this quantum circuit gives the Cmax of the two inputs<br />

on the last two qubits. Table 4.2 shows the truth table of the Max circuit.<br />
