Projective Ring Line Encompassing Two-Qubits
نویسندگان
چکیده
The projective line over the (non-commutative) ring of two-by-two matrices with coefficients in GF (2) is found to fully accommodate the algebra of 15 operators — generalized Pauli matrices — characterizing two-qubit systems. The relevant sub-configuration consists of 15 points each of which is either simultaneously distant or simultaneously neighbor to (any) two given distant points of the line. The operators can be identified with the points in such a one-to-one manner that their commutation relations are exactly reproduced by the underlying geometry of the points, with the ring geometrical notions of neighbor/distant answering, respectively, to the operational ones of commuting/non-commuting. This finding opens up rather unexpected vistas for an algebraic geometrical modelling of finite-dimensional quantum systems and gives their numerous applications a wholly new perspective.

On two generalizations of semi-projective modules: SGQ-projective and $pi$-semi-projective
Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ a right $R$-module with $S=End_R(M)$. A module $M$ is called semi-projective if for any epimorphism $f:Mrightarrow N$, where $N$ is a submodule of $M$, and for any homomorphism $g: Mrightarrow N$, there exists $h:Mrightarrow M$ such that $fh=g$. In this paper, we study SGQ-projective and $pi$-semi-projective modules as two generalizations of semi-projective modules. A ...
متن کاملUniversal quantum computation with two- and three-qubit projective measurements
We present a finite set of projective measurements that, together with quantum memory and preparation of the |0〉 state, suffice for universal quantum computation. This extends work of Nielsen [Nie01], who proposed a scheme in which an arbitrary unitary operation on n qubits can be simulated using only projective measurements on at most 2n qubits. All measurements in our set involve two qubits, ...
متن کامل$n$-cocoherent rings, $n$-cosemihereditary rings and $n$-V-rings
Let $R$ be a ring, and let $n, d$ be non-negative integers. A right $R$-module $M$ is called $(n, d)$-projective if $Ext^{d+1}_R(M, A)=0$ for every $n$-copresented right $R$-module $A$. $R$ is called right $n$-cocoherent if every $n$-copresented right $R$-module is $(n+1)$-coprese-nted, it is called a right co-$(n,d)$-ring if every right $R$-module is $(n, d)$-projective. $R$...
متن کاملThe existence totally reflexive covers
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We prove that over a local ring $R$ every finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of finite Gorenstein projective dimension has a Gorenstein projective cover$varphi:C rightarrow M$ such that $C$ is finitely generated and the projective dimension of $Kervarphi$ is finite and $varphi$ is surjective.
متن کاملDiagonal Matrix Reduction over Refinement Rings
Abstract: A ring R is called a refinement ring if the monoid of finitely generated projective R- modules is refinement. Let R be a commutative refinement ring and M, N, be two finitely generated projective R-nodules, then M~N if and only if Mm ~Nm for all maximal ideal m of R. A rectangular matrix A over R admits diagonal reduction if there exit invertible matrices p and Q such that PAQ is...
