  • Towards a Novel Environment for Simulation of Quantum Computing
    Computer Science 16 (1) 2015 http://dx.doi.org/10.7494/csci.2015.16.1.103 • Joanna Patrzyk Bartłomiej Patrzyk Katarzyna Rycerz Marian Bubak TOWARDS A NOVEL ENVIRONMENT FOR SIMULATION OF QUANTUM COMPUTING Abstract In this paper, we analyze existing quantum computer simulation techniqu- es and their realizations to minimize the impact of the exponential complexity of simulated quantum computations. As a result of this investigation, we pro- pose a quantum computer simulator with an integrated development environ- ment – QuIDE – supporting the development of algorithms for future quantum computers. The simulator simplifies building and testing quantum circuits and understanding quantum algorithms in an efficient way. The development envi- ronment provides flexibility of source code edition and ease of the graphical building of circuit diagrams. We also describe and analyze the complexity of algorithms used for simulation as well as present performance results of the simulator as well as results of its deployment during university classes.

Introduction In recent years, the field of quantum computing has developed significantly. In [25] and [30], the results of experimental realizations of Shor’s Prime Factorization Algorithm [44] are presented. Moreover, the first prototypes of a quantum central processing unit were built: one realizing the von Neumann’s architecture [28] and another exploiting quantum annealing [21, 24]. Quantum computers can offer an exponential speedup compared to conventional computers [7].

    Spectral entropies as information-theoretic tools for complex network comparison Manlio De Domenico1 and Jacob Biamonte2, 3 1Departament d'Enginyeria Inform`atica i Matem`atiques, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, 43007 Tarragona, Spain 2Quantum Complexity Science Initiative Department of Physics, University of Malta, MSD 2080 Malta 3Institute for Quantum Computing University of Waterloo, Waterloo, N2L 3G1 Ontario, Canada Any physical system can be viewed from the perspective that information is implicitly represented in its state. However, the quantification of this information when it comes to complex networks has remained largely elusive. In this work, we use techniques inspired by quantum statistical mechanics to define an entropy measure for complex networks and to develop a set of information-theoretic tools, based on network spectral properties, such as R´enyi q−entropy, generalized Kullback-Leibler and Jensen-Shannon divergences, the latter allowing us to define a natural distance measure between com- plex networks. First we show that by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence between an observed network and a parametric network model, inference of model parameter(s) by means of maximum-likelihood estimation can be achieved and model selection can be performed appropriate information criteria. Second, we show that the information-theoretic metric quantifies the distance between pairs of networks and we can use it, for instance, to cluster the layers of a multilayer system. By applying this framework to networks corresponding to sites of the human microbiome, we perform hierarchical cluster analysis and recover with high accuracy existing community-based associations. Our results imply that spectral based statistical inference in complex net- works results in demonstrably superior performance as well as a conceptual backbone, filling a gap towards a network information theory.

    Probing the spectral dimension of quantum network geometries Johannes Nokkala Instituto de F´ısicaInterdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC, UIB-CSIC), Campus Universitat de les Illes Balears E-07122, Palma de Mallorca, Spain E-mail: [email protected] Jyrki Piilo Turku Centre for Quantum Physics, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Turku, FI-20014 Turun yliopisto, Finland E-mail: [email protected] Ginestra Bianconi School of Mathematical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London, London, E1 4NS, United Kingdom Alan Turing Institute, The British Library, London, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We consider an environment for an open quantum system described by a \Quantum Network Geometry with Flavor" (QNGF) in which the nodes are coupled quantum oscillators. The geometrical nature of QNGF is reflected in the spectral properties of the Laplacian matrix of the network which display a finite spectral dimension, determining also the frequencies of the normal modes of QNGFs. We show that an a priori unknown spectral dimension can be indirectly estimated by coupling an auxiliary open quantum system to the network and probing the normal mode frequencies in the low frequency regime. We find that the network parameters do not affect the estimate; in this sense it is a property of the network geometry, rather than the values of, e.g., oscillator bare frequencies or the constant coupling strength. Numerical evidence suggests that the estimate is also robust both to small changes in the high frequency cutoff and noisy or missing normal mode frequencies. We propose to couple the auxiliary system to a subset of network nodes with random coupling strengths to reveal and resolve a sufficiently large subset of normal mode frequencies.

  • Security of Two Quantum Cryptography Protocols Using the Same Four Qubit States
    PHYSICAL REVIEW A 72, 032301 ͑2005͒ Security of two quantum cryptography protocols using the same four qubit states Cyril Branciard,1,2 Nicolas Gisin,1 Barbara Kraus,1 and Valerio Scarani1 1Group of Applied Physics, University of Geneva, 20, rue de l’Ecole-de-Médecine, 1211 Geneva 4, Switzerland 2Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, 46, rue Barrault, 75013 Paris, France ͑Received 10 May 2005; published 1 September 2005͒ The first quantum cryptography protocol, proposed by Bennett and Brassard in 1984 ͑BB84͒, has been widely studied in recent years. This protocol uses four states ͑more precisely, two complementary bases͒ for the encoding of the classical bit. Recently, it has been noticed that by using the same four states, but a different encoding of information, one can define a protocol which is more robust in practical implementations, specifi- cally when attenuated laser pulses are used instead of single-photon sources ͓V. Scarani et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 057901 ͑2004͒, referred to as the SARG04 protocol͔. We present a detailed study of SARG04 in two different regimes. In the first part, we consider an implementation with a single-photon source: we derive bounds on the error rate Q for security against all possible attacks by the eavesdropper. The lower and the upper bound obtained for SARG04 ͑QՇ10.95% and Qտ14.9%, respectively͒ are close to those obtained for BB84 ͑QՇ12.4% and Qտ14.6%, respectively͒. In the second part, we consider a realistic source consisting of an attenuated laser and improve on previous analysis by allowing Alice to optimize the mean number of photons as a function of the distance.
