Implement a quantum oracle on $$$N$$$ qubits which checks whether the input bit string is balanced, i.e., whether it has exactly $$$\frac{N}{2}$$$ zeros and $$$\frac{N}{2}$$$ ones in it.
Your operation should take the following inputs:
Your operation should perform a unitary transformation on those qubits that can be described by its effect on the basis states: if "inputs" is in the basis state $$$|x\rangle$$$ and "output" is in the basis state $$$|y\rangle$$$, the result of applying the operation should be $$$|x\rangle|y \oplus f(x)\rangle$$$, where $$$f(x) = 1$$$ if the bit string $$$x$$$ has the same number of zeros and ones in it, and $$$0$$$ otherwise.
For example, if the qubits passed to your operation are in the state $$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|01\rangle + |00\rangle)_x \otimes |0\rangle_y$$$, the state of the system after applying the operation should be $$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|01\rangle_x\otimes |1\rangle_y + |00\rangle_x |0\rangle_y)$$$.
Your code should have the following signature (note that your operation should have Adjoint and Controlled variants defined for it; is Adj+Ctl in the operation signature will generate them automatically based on your code):
namespace Solution {
open Microsoft.Quantum.Intrinsic;
operation Solve (inputs : Qubit[], output : Qubit) : Unit is Adj+Ctl {
// your code here
}
}
Your code is not allowed to use measurements or arbitrary rotation gates. This operation can be implemented using just the X gate and its controlled variants (possibly with multiple qubits as controls).
