Sumario:A special-purpose quantum circuit that can be programmed to evaluate the expectation value of any operator was described. Some applications of this circuit and its relation to known instances of quantum state tomography were also discussed. The circuit has a program whose state encodes the operator, whose expectation value is to be evaluated. The expectation value is obtained by performing a measurement of the polarization of the auxiliary qubit.
