Holonomic Quantum Computation
2008
In this brief review we describe the idea of holonomic quantum computation. The idea of geometric phase and holonomy is introduced in a general way and we provide few examples that should help the reader understand the issues involved.
Very narrow quantum OBDDs and width hierarchies for classical OBDDs
2014
In the paper we investigate a model for computing of Boolean functions - Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs), which is a restricted version of Branching Programs. We present several results on the comparative complexity for several variants of OBDD models. - We present some results on the comparative complexity of classical and quantum OBDDs. We consider a partial function depending on a parameter k such that for any k > 0 this function is computed by an exact quantum OBDD of width 2, but any classical OBDD (deterministic or stable bounded-error probabilistic) needs width 2 k+1. - We consider quantum and classical nondeterminism. We show that quantum nondeterminism can be more efficien…
Quantum Information by Adiabatic Passage : Quantum Gates and Decoherence
2007
The first part of this thesis is about adiabatic quantum processes designed for the implementation of quantum logic gates, the elementary components of quantumcomputers, by the interaction of pulsed laser fields with atoms. The adiabaticmethods allow robust processes, i.e. which are not sensitive to the fluctuationsof experimental parameters. The processes described in this thesis only requireaccurate control of the polarisations and the relative static phases of thelaser fields. These processes allow the implementation of a universal set ofquantum gates, which make possible the implementation of all the other quantumgates by combinations.The second part of this thesis concerns the effects …
