Simulations of Quantum Turing Machines by Quantum Multi-Stack Machines
As was well known, in classical computation, Turing machines, circuits, multi-stack machines, and multi-counter machines are equivalent, that is, they can simulate each other in polynomial time. In quantum computation, Yao [11] first proved that for any quantum Turing machines M , there exists quantum Boolean circuit (n, t)-simulating M , where n denotes the length of input strings, and t is th...
متن کاملSimulations of Quantum Turing Machines by Quantum Multi-Counter Machines
We define quantum multi-stack machines (abbr. QMSMs) by generalizing quantum pushdown automata (abbr. QPDAs) dealt with before from one-stack to multi-stack, and the well-formedness (abbr. W-F) conditions for characterizing the unitary evolution are presented. Afterwards, by means of QMSMs we define quantum multi-counter machines (abbr. QMCMs) that are somewhat different from the quantum counte...
متن کاملThe Smallest Thermal Machines
Are there limits to how small one can make a thermodynamic machine? At first sight, this question appears to contradict itself, as thermodynamics usually begins with a kind of macroscopic picture. However, as Nicolas Brunner at the University of Bristol, UK, and colleagues describe in a paper appearing in Physical Review E, this constraint can be circumvented, if one focuses on a special kind o...
متن کاملQuantum Machines
We discuss quantum information processing machines. We start with single purpose machines that either redistribute quantum information or identify quantum states. We then move on to machines that can perform a number of functions, with the function they perform being determined by a program, which is itself a quantum state. Examples of both deterministic and probabilistic programmable machines ...
متن کاملPerformance of Continuous Quantum Thermal Devices Indirectly Connected to Environments
A general quantum thermodynamics network is composed of thermal devices connected to environments through quantum wires. The coupling between the devices and the wires may introduce additional decay channels which modify the system performance with respect to the directly-coupled device. We analyze this effect in a quantum three-level device connected to a heat bath or to a work source through ...
