Maxwell had unified electriciy, magnetism and optics with his theory of electromagnetic waves. Thermodynamics was hugely successful well before there was any deep understanding about the properties of atoms (or even certainty about their existence!) could make accurate predictions about the efficiency of the steam engines powering the industrial revolution. By 1895, statistical mechanics was well on its way to providing a microscopic basis in terms of the random motions of atoms to explain the macroscopic predictions of thermodynamics. However over the next decade, a few careful observers (e.g. -
Free-Electron Qubits
Free-Electron Qubits Ori Reinhardt†, Chen Mechel†, Morgan Lynch, and Ido Kaminer Department of Electrical Engineering and Solid State Institute, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, 32000 Haifa, Israel † equal contributors Free-electron interactions with laser-driven nanophotonic nearfields can quantize the electrons’ energy spectrum and provide control over this quantized degree of freedom. We propose to use such interactions to promote free electrons as carriers of quantum information and find how to create a qubit on a free electron. We find how to implement the qubit’s non-commutative spin-algebra, then control and measure the qubit state with a universal set of 1-qubit gates. These gates are within the current capabilities of femtosecond-pulsed laser-driven transmission electron microscopy. Pulsed laser driving promise configurability by the laser intensity, polarizability, pulse duration, and arrival times. Most platforms for quantum computation today rely on light-matter interactions of bound electrons such as in ion traps [1], superconducting circuits [2], and electron spin systems [3,4]. These form a natural choice for implementing 2-level systems with spin algebra. Instead of using bound electrons for quantum information processing, in this letter we propose using free electrons and manipulating them with femtosecond laser pulses in optical frequencies. Compared to bound electrons, free electron systems enable accessing high energy scales and short time scales. Moreover, they possess quantized degrees of freedom that can take unbounded values, such as orbital angular momentum (OAM), which has also been proposed for information encoding [5-10]. Analogously, photons also have the capability to encode information in their OAM [11,12]. -

Design of a Qubit and a Decoder in Quantum Computing Based on a Spin Field Effect A. A. Suratgar1, S. Rafiei*2, A. A. Taherpour3, A. Babaei4 1 Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Arak University, Arak, Iran. 1 Assistant Professor, Electrical Engineering Department, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. 2 Young Researchers Club, Aligudarz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Aligudarz, Iran. *[email protected] 3 Professor, Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Islamic Azad University, Arak Branch, Arak, Iran. 4 faculty member of Islamic Azad University, Khomein Branch, Khomein, ABSTRACT In this paper we present a new method for designing a qubit and decoder in quantum computing based on the field effect in nuclear spin. In this method, the position of hydrogen has been studied in different external fields. The more we have different external field effects and electromagnetic radiation, the more we have different distribution ratios. Consequently, the quality of different distribution ratios has been applied to the suggested qubit and decoder model. We use the nuclear property of hydrogen in order to find a logical truth value. Computational results demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency that can be obtained with the use of these models. Keywords: quantum computing, qubit, decoder, gyromagnetic ratio, spin. 1. Introduction different hydrogen atoms in compound applied for the qubit and decoder designing. Up to now many papers deal with the possibility to realize a reversible computer based on the laws of 2. An overview on quantum concepts quantum mechanics [1]. In this chapter a short introduction is presented Modern quantum chemical methods provide into the interesting field of quantum in physics, powerful tools for theoretical modeling and Moore´s law and a summary of the quantum analysis of molecular electronic structures. -

We derive the scale where the effec- tive description in terms of the SM supplemented by a single resonance is expected arXiv:1604.05746v3 [hep-ph] 2 Apr 2019 to break down depending on the resonance mass and signal cross-section. Likewise, we use unitarity arguments in order to set perturbativity bounds on renormalizable UV completions of the effective description.

In this paper, we propose a circuit synthesis method based on the QR factorization via Householder transformations. We provide a two-step algorithm: during the rst step we exploit the specic structure of a quantum operator to compute its QR factorization, then the factorized matrix is used to produce a quantum circuit. -

Methodology for quantum logic gate construction 1,2 3,2 2 Xinlan Zhou ∗, Debbie W. Leung †, and Isaac L. Chuang ‡ 1 Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-4090 2 IBM Almaden Research Center, 650 Harry Road, San Jose, California 95120 3 Quantum Entanglement Project, ICORP, JST Edward Ginzton Laboratory, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305-4085 (October 29, 2018) We present a general method to construct fault-tolerant quantum logic gates with a simple primitive, which is an analog of quantum teleportation. The technique extends previous results based on traditional quantum teleportation (Gottesman and Chuang, Nature 402, 390, 1999) and leads to straightforward and systematic construction of many fault-tolerant encoded operations, including the π/8 and Toffoli gates. The technique can also be applied to the construction of remote quantum operations that cannot be directly performed. I. INTRODUCTION Practical realization of quantum information processing requires specific types of quantum operations that may be difficult to construct. In particular, to perform quantum computation robustly in the presence of noise, one needs fault-tolerant implementation of quantum gates acting on states that are block-encoded using quantum error correcting codes [1–4]. Fault-tolerant quantum gates must prevent propagation of single qubit errors to multiple qubits within any code block so that small correctable errors will not grow to exceed the correction capability of the code. This requirement greatly restricts the types of unitary operations that can be performed on the encoded qubits. Certain fault-tolerant operations can be implemented easily by performing direct transversal operations on the encoded qubits, in which each qubit in a block interacts only with one corresponding qubit, either in another block or in a specialized ancilla.
