Interaction-free quantum computation
In this paper, we study the quantum computation realized by an interaction-free measurement (IFM). Using Kwiat et al.’s interferometer, we construct a two-qubit quantum gate that changes one particle’s trajectory according to whether or not the other particle exists in the interferometer. We propose a method for distinguishing Bell-basis vectors, each of which consists of a pair of an electron ...
متن کاملAncilla dimension in quantum channel discrimination
Quantum channel discrimination is a fundamental task in quantum information theory. It is well known that entanglement with an ancillary system can help in this task, and furthermore that an ancilla with the same dimension as the input of the channels is always sufficient for optimal discrimination of two channels. A natural question to ask is whether the same holds true for the output dimensio...
متن کاملMemory effects in quantum channel discrimination.
We consider quantum-memory assisted protocols for discriminating quantum channels. We show that for optimal discrimination of memory channels, memory assisted protocols are needed. This leads to a new notion of distance for channels with memory, based on the general theory of quantum testers. For discrimination and estimation of sets of independent unitary channels, we prove optimality of paral...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanical Interaction - Free Measurements
A novel manifestation of nonlocality of quantum mechanics is presented. It is shown that it is possible to ascertain the existence of an object in a given region of space without interacting with it. The method might have practical applications for delicate quantum experiments.
متن کاملThe Problem of Quantum Measurement Quantum Measurement as Thermodynamic Limit
We derive the probabilities of measurement results from Schroedinger’s equation plus a definition of macroscopic as a particular kind of thermodynamic limit. Bohr’s insight that a measurement apparatus must be classical in nature and classically describable is made precise in a mathematical sense analogous to the procedures of classical statistical mechanics and the study of Hamiltonian heat ba...
