Quantum History Cannot Be Copied

We show that unitarity does not allow cloning of any two points in a ray. This has implication for cloning of the geometric phase information in a quantum state. In particular, the quantum history which is encoded in the geometric phase during cyclic evolution of a quantum system cannot be copied. We also prove that the generalized geometric phase information cannot be copied by a unitary opera...

Quantum Zero-Error Algorithms Cannot be Composed

We exhibit two black-box problems, both of which have an efficient quantum algorithm with zero-error, yet whose composition does not have an efficient quantum algorithm with zero-error. This shows that quantum zero-error algorithms cannot be composed. In oracle terms, we give a relativized world where ZQP 6= ZQP, while classically we always have ZPP = ZPP.

Quantum states cannot be transmitted efficiently classically

We show that any classical communication protocol that can approximately simulate the result of applying an arbitrary measurement (held by one party) to a quantum state of n qubits (held by another) must transmit at least 2 bits, up to constant factors. The argument is based on a lower bound on the classical communication complexity of a distributed variant of the Fourier sampling problem. We o...

Experiments testing macroscopic quantum superpositions must be slow

We consider a thought experiment where the preparation of a macroscopically massive or charged particle in a quantum superposition and the associated dynamics of a distant test particle apparently allow for superluminal communication. We give a solution to the paradox which is based on the following fundamental principle: any local experiment, discriminating a coherent superposition from an inc...

Quantum Measurements Cannot be Proved to be Random

The postulates of quantum mechanics say that when a measurement is made on a quantum state the outcome of the measurement is random [1]. In classical physics, if the state of a closed system is known, then the state of that system is completely predictable. As far as we know, randomness only exists in quantum mechanics [2]. Everett proposed a purely unitary quantum theory [3] (without probabili...
