Does Creativity Help Us Survive? A Possible Approach with Quantum-Driven Robots
2022
How can we relate quantum computing, robotics, and music? This is a position paper where we try to connect these fields. We discuss one main question regarding computational creativity and we imagine an experimental setup to test our hypothesis. Artificial intelligence and autonomous machines can accomplish simple creative tasks such as reorganizing given material. Because creativity is a human (and not only) resource to survive, we wonder if also artificial agents, such as robots, might develop creativity at a higher level to ensure self-survival. Then, we design an experimental setup with three robots, playing and dancing. If music and movement flow is regular (with the beat difference be…
Toward Quaternary QCA : Novel Majority and XOR Fuzzy Gates
2022
As an emerging nanotechnology, quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) has been considered an alternative to CMOS technology that suffers from problems such as leakage current. Moreover, QCA is suitable for multi-valued logic due to the simplicity of implementing fuzzy logic in a way much easier than CMOS technology. In this paper, a quaternary cell is proposed with two isolated layers because of requiring three particles to design this quaternary cell. Moreover, due to the instability of the basic gates, the three particles cannot be placed in one layer. The first layer of the proposed two-layer cell includes a ternary cell and the second one includes a binary cell. It is assumed that the over…
Modeling and designing a robotic swarm: A quantum computing approach
2023
Nature is a neverending source of inspiration for technology. Quantum physics suggests applications to- ward quantum computing. Swarms’ self-organization leads to robotic swarm developments. Here, quantum computing is applied to swarm robotics. We model local interactions with a quantum circuit, testing it on simulators and quantum computers. To relate local with global behavior, we develop a block matrix-based model. Diagonal sub-matrices contain information on single robots; off-diagonal sub-matrices are the pairwise interaction terms. Comparing different swarms means comparing different block matrices. Choosing initial values and computation rules for off-diagonal blocks (with a particul…
Kvanttikoneohjelmointi
2016
Työssä tutkittiin kvanttiohjelmointikielten nykytilaa. Tavoitteena oli pintapuolisesti kartoittaa millaisia kieliä on olemassa, mitä niiden erot ovat ja miksi niitäonkehitetty,vaikkakäytännönkvanttitietokoneitaeivieläolekaan.Tämätutki- mustavoite toteutui hyvin. Johtopäätöksenä voidaan sanoa, että kvanttiohjelmoin- tikieliä on kehitetty suhteellisen paljon kvanttitietokoneiden puuttumiseen nähden, ja ne eroavat monilta osin. Myös niiden kehittämiseen löydettiin paljon hyviä syitä. In this paper the current state of quantum programming languages was studied. The objective was to do a survey of existing languages, their differences, and the reasons for their development, even though practical…
Embracing iterations in Quantum software: a vision
2022
In today’s software engineering, iterations, affordable en masse, form an important part of just about any system. However, not all computing resources are cheap to consume. In High-Performance (HPC) and Quantum Computing (QC), executions can consume considerable amounts of energy and time, which is reserved and used even if the very first steps in the process fail. This means that developers must assume a different attitude towards programming, and aim at error-free software before its execution. This is com monly facilitated using simulators, which are commonplace for both HPC and QC. However the fashion developers advance from one tool to another is ad-hoc, with no established software e…
Novel qutrit circuit design for multiplexer, De-multiplexer, and decoder
2022
AbstractDesigning conventional circuits present many challenges, including minimizing internal power dissipation. An approach to overcoming this problem is utilizing quantum technology, which has attracted significant attention as an alternative to Nanoscale CMOS technology. The reduction of energy dissipation makes quantum circuits an up-and-coming emerging technology. Ternary logic can potentially diminish the quantum circuit width, which is currently a limitation in quantum technologies. Using qutrit instead of qubit could play an essential role in the future of quantum computing. First, we propose two approaches for quantum ternary decoder circuit in this context. Then, we propose a qua…
Compact Quantum Circuit Design of PUFFIN and PRINT Lightweight Ciphers for Quantum Key Recovery Attack
2023
Quantum computing plays a vital role in the next generation computing platforms as researchers have achieved quantum supremacy by proving that quantum computers can outperform classical computers. These high performance computers will pose a serious threat to the security of the conventional cryptographic algorithms. The secret key of the conventional cryptographic algorithms when implemented by quantum circuits can easily be recovered with the help of Grover key search algorithm. The Grover’s algorithm requires low cost quantum implementation of cryptographic algorithms in order to mount the quantum key recovery attack successfully. Hence the low cost quantum implementation of conventional…
Quantum coherent manipulation of spin information in molecular nanomagnets
2023
Los sistemas cuánticos de dos niveles basados en estados de espín, conocidos como ``qubits de espín'', son bloques prometedores para el desarrollo de tecnologías cuánticas. Entre las distintas plataformas físicas, los qubits de espín definidos en imanes de molécula única (SMM) son candidatos prometedores porque su estructura electrónica puede ajustarse fácilmente mediante ingeniería química (es decir, el Hamiltoniano de espín molecular puede modificarse con facilidad). Sin embargo, los qubits moleculares de espín generados en SMM se enfrentan a varios retos: coherencia cuántica frágil, control coherente insuficiente de los estados de espín y generación de entrelazamiento entre los qubits de…
Sing and Measure: Sound as Voice as Quanta
2022
The universal concept of a “music of the spheres” traverses the history of philosophy, science and art, from Pythagoras to Kepler and beyond. In modern times, a sphere in three dimensions—the Bloch sphere—is used to illustrate the state of a qubit, the basic unit of quantum information. On the same spherical surface, the fundamental components of voice production can be located, so that any utterance can be seen as the evolution of a unit two-dimensional vector having complex coefficients. Indeed, any sound can be analyzed and decomposed into overlapping sinusoidal components, broadband noises, and impulsive transients, which in turn can be associated to fundamental means of vocal sound pro…
