Abstract: A system and method is provided for designing and configuring a quantum circuit that models known “interference effects” between mutually exclusive events whose outcome is not yet known. An exemplary method includes applying a laser to an ion trap to set a probability of a single event by rotating at least one qubit; configuring the quantum circuit to connect a plurality of events, such that an outcome of the single event dictates an output of a subsequent event to be more or less likely to occur; configuring the quantum circuit to entangle the respective plurality of events such that a plurality of states representing different potential events interfere with one another, including an interference between incompatible outcomes of at least two of the plurality of events; and configuring the quantum circuit to measures the respective outcomes to model a result when the quantum computer determines an outcome of an event, such that possible outcomes of other events are removed.
