    Heat Machines and Quantum Systems: Towards the Third Law Thesis submitted for the degree of "Doctor of Philosophy" by Yair Rezek Submitted to the senate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem October 2011 Heat Machines and Quantum Systems: Towards the Third Law Thesis submitted for the degree of "Doctor of Philosophy" by Yair Rezek Submitted to the senate of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem October 2011 This work was carried out under the supervision of prof. Ronnie Kosloff Acknowledgments I thank professor Kosloff for his guidance, and his endless willingness to aid and teach. I am also grateful to doctor Tova Feldman, Amikam Levi, and professor Peter Salamon for many fruitful discussions. ...Democritus says that [the soul] is hot, a sort of fire; for while there are infinitely many shapes, i.e. atoms, he says that the spherical ones compose fire and the soul ... because such shapes can most easily penetrate through everything and move the others, being themselves in motion. - Aristotle, De Anima (4th century BCE), showing that Democritus (5th century BCE) already understood heat as molecular (atomic) motion. The theory of thermodynamics is today, ca. 100 years after its modern formulation, a basic concept of physics. Its application makes the description and implementation of all sorts of physical and technical processes feasi- ble. Nevertheless, the derivation of basic principles of thermodynamics like, e.g., the famous second law, from more fundamental theories remains an intensively disputed problem until these days. Almost all approaches in that direction are based on classical Newtonian physics. Most of them require additional postulates like the ergodic hypothesis, the ”a priori postulate”, or the ”Stosszahlansatz” which are themselves not part of the Newtonian theory.

  • Quantum Noise Can Enhance Algorithmic Cooling
    Quantum noise can enhance algorithmic cooling Zahra Farahmand,1 Reyhaneh Aghaei Saem,1 and Sadegh Raeisi1, ∗ 1Department of Physics, Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran Heat-Bath Algorithmic Cooling techniques (HBAC) are techniques that are used to purify a target element in a quantum system. These methods compress and transfer entropy away from the target element into auxiliary elements of the system. The performance of Algorithmic Cooling has been investigated under ideal noiseless conditions. However, realistic implementations are imperfect and for practical purposes, noise should be taken into account. Here we analyze Heat-Bath Algorithmic Cooling techniques under realistic noise models. Surprisingly, we find that noise can in some cases enhance the performance and improve the cooling limit of Heat-Bath Algorithmic Cooling techniques. We numerically simulate the noisy algorithmic cooling for the two optimal strategies, the Partner Pairing, and the Two-sort algorithms. We find that for both of them, in the presence of the generalized amplitude damping noise, the process converges and the asymptotic purity can be higher than the noiseless process. This opens up new avenues for increasing the purity beyond the heat-bath algorithmic cooling. Most quantum applications require pure qubits. ments of the density matrix for compression. They However, it is not always easy to prepare pure quan- showed that sort is the optimal compression oper- tum states. For instance, for spin qubits, the states ation for HBAC.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract. Algorithmic cooling (AC) is a method to purify quantum systems, such as ensembles of nuclear spins, or cold atoms in an optical lattice. When applied to spins, AC produces ensembles of highly po- larized spins, which enhance the signal strength in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). According to this cooling approach, spin-half nuclei in a constant magnetic field are considered as bits, or more precisely quantum bits, in a known probability distribution. Algorithmic steps on these bits are then translated into specially designed NMR pulse sequences using common NMR quantum computation tools.

  • Algorithmic Quantum Heat Engines
    PHYSICAL REVIEW E 100, 012109 (2019) Algorithmic quantum heat engines Emre Köse,1 Selçuk Çakmak,2 Azmi Gençten,3 Iannis K. Kominis,4 and Özgür E. Müstecaplıoglu˘ 1,* 1Department of Physics, Koç University, 34450 Sariyer, Istanbul,˙ Turkey 2Department of Software Engineering, Samsun University, 55420 Samsun, Turkey 3Department of Physics, Ondokuz Mayıs University, 55139 Samsun, Turkey 4Department of Physics, University of Crete, 70013 Heraklion, Greece (Received 23 January 2019; revised manuscript received 14 June 2019; published 8 July 2019) We suggest alternative quantum Otto engines, using heat bath algorithmic cooling with a partner pairing algorithm instead of isochoric cooling and using quantum SWAP operations instead of quantum adiabatic processes. Liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance systems in a single entropy sink are treated as working fluids. The extractable work and thermal efficiency are analyzed in detail for four-stroke and two-stroke types of alternative quantum Otto engines. The role of the heat bath algorithmic cooling in these cycles is to use a single entropy sink instead of two so that a single incoherent energy resource can be harvested and processed using an algorithmic quantum heat engine. Our results indicate a path to programmable quantum heat engines as analogs of quantum computers beyond traditional heat engine cycles. We find that for our NMR system example implementation of quantum algorithmic heat engine stages yields more power due to increased cycle speeds. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.100.012109 I. INTRODUCTION ization is much slower, reducing the power output of the NMR machines. With the advances of miniaturized information and energy Here, we propose to replace adiabatic steps by SWAP op- devices, the question of whether using a quantum system erations while replacing the cooling step by an algorithmic to harvest a classical resource can have an advantage over cooling [32–45].

  • Algorithmic Cooling of Spins: a Practicable Method for Increasing Polarization
    Algorithmic Cooling of Spins: A Practicable Method for Increasing Polarization Jos´eM. Fernandez1, Seth Lloyd2, Tal Mor3, and Vwani Roychowdhury4 1. D´epartement de g´enie informatique, Ecole´ Polytechnique de Montr´eal, Montr´eal, Canada 2. Department of Mechanical Engineering, MIT, Cambridge, USA 3. Computer Science Department, Technion, Haifa, Israel. 4. Electrical Engineering Department, UCLA, Los Angeles, CA, USA. 21 January 2004 An efficient technique to generate ensembles of spins that are highly polarized by external magnetic fields is the Holy Grail in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Since spin-half nuclei have steady-state polarization biases that increase inversely with temperature, spins exhibiting high polarization biases are con- sidered cool, even when their environment is warm. Existing spin- cooling techniques [1, 2, 3, 4] are highly limited in their efficiency and usefulness. Algorithmic cooling [5] is a promising new spin- cooling approach that employs data compression methods in open systems. It reduces the entropy of spins on long molecules to a arXiv:quant-ph/0401135v2 23 Jan 2004 point far beyond Shannon’s bound on reversible entropy manipula- tions (an information-theoretic version of the 2nd Law of Thermo- dynamics), thus increasing their polarization. Here we present an efficient and experimentally feasible algorithmic cooling technique that cools spins to very low temperatures even on short molecules. This practicable algorithmic cooling could lead to breakthroughs in high-sensitivity NMR spectroscopy in the near future, and to the development of scalable NMR quantum computers in the far future. Moreover, while the cooling algorithm itself is classical, it uses quantum gates in its implementation, thus representing the first short-term application of quantum computing devices.

Introduction Quantum Information Processing (QIP) has the potential to perform exponentially faster computation and revolutionize current technology by harnessing the systems governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. To reach this goal we need to be able to control imperfections and imprecision occurring when theoretical ideas are implemented in the physical world. Quantum error correction is a theory that aims to bridge this. The first steps towards developing experimental quantum error correction have been taken but there is still more to be done. Application of multiple rounds of Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is an essential milestone towards the construction of scalable QIP devices, but experimental realizations of it are still in their infancy. The requirements for multiple round QEC are high control fidelity and the ability to extract entropy from ancilla qubits. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) based quantum devices have demonstrated high control fidelity with up to 12 qubits. Hence, these devices are excellent test beds that can be explored in the lab today for the ideas of quantum control and QEC. More details on NMR QIP can be found in [1,2].

A common theme throughout this work is the examination of how quantum algorithms and protocols might be imple- mented in practice. I explore this question at the level of algorithmic details and computer architecture, and not at the level of speci¯c physical systems for performing quantum computation. The ¯rst problem I consider is the generation of quantum states. Many results in quantum information theory require the generation of speci¯c quantum states, such as Bell states. Some states can be e±ciently created using standard quantum computational primitives such as preparing a qubit in the state j0i and applying a sequence of quantum gates (from a ¯nite set). For example, a Bell state can be prepared from the state j0ij0i using a Hadamard gate and a controlled-not gate. However, many states cannot be e±ciently created.

One key limitation is that the hardware used in computational chemistry is based on classical physics, and is often not well suited for simulating models in quantum physics. In this review, we focus on applications of quantum computation to chemical physics problems. We describe the algorithms that have been proposed for the electronic- structure problem, the simulation of chemical dynamics, thermal state preparation, density functional theory and adiabatic quantum simulation.

Email: [email protected] Abstract We present here algorithmic cooling (via polarization-heat-bath)—a powerful method for obtain- ing a large number of highly polarized spins in liquid nuclear-spin systems at finite temperature. Given that spin-half states represent (quantum) bits, algorithmic cooling cleans dirty bits beyond the Shan- non’s bound on data compression, by employing a set of rapidly thermal-relaxing bits. Such auxiliary bits could be implemented using spins that rapidly get into thermal equilibrium with the environment, e.g., electron spins. Cooling spins to a very low temperature without cooling the environment could lead to a break- through in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments, and our “spin-refrigerating” method suggests that this is possible. The scaling of NMR ensemble computers is probably the main obstacle to building useful quantum computing devices, and our spin-refrigerating method suggests that this problem can be resolved. ∗This work was sponsored in part by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) project MDA972–99–1– 0017 [note that the content of this paper does not necessarily reflect the position or the policy of the government, and no official endorsement should be inferred], and in part by the U.S.

Perimeter/Waterloo Abstract Algorithmic Cooling is a generic term for techniques leading to the purification of qubit registers whose initial state is not pure. This term encompasses polarisation transfer techniques of NMR (pre-dating both QC and NMR-based QC) and also in-place quantum compression schemes such as those of Schulman and Vazirani. The entropy conservation law imposes, however, severe restrictions on the efficiency of such techniques, often referred to as the Shannon Bound. In addition, the necessity that all transformations applied be unitary (i.e. inner-product preserving), imposes an even tighter bound, referred to as the Sørensen Bound. A new kind of algorithmic cooling which bypasses these bounds by pumping out excess entropy into the environment (i.e. heat bath) has been proposed in 1999 by Boykin, Mor, Roychowdhury, Vatan, and Vrijen and has been referred to as "non-adiabatic" or "heat- bath" algorithmic cooling. This poster presents an improved non-adiabatic cooling algorithm, more efficient in terms of the number of required qubits, which achieves an exponential increase in polarisation with a linear number of qubits. Furthermore, we report on the first proof-of-concept non-adiabatic cooling experiment ever, performed in April 2002 at the Université de Montréal on a 3-spin molecule.
