Interference in discrete Wigner functions
We analyse some features of the class of discrete Wigner functions that was recently introduced by Gibbons et al. to represent quantum states of systems with power-of-prime dimensional Hilbert spaces [Phys. Rev. A 70, 062101 (2004)]. We consider “cat” states obtained as coherent superpositions of states with positive Wigner function; for such states we show that the oscillations of the discrete...
متن کاملQuantum chaos and random matrix theory for fidelity decay in quantum computations with static imperfections
We determine the universal law for fidelity decay in quantum computations of complex dynamics in presence of internal static imperfections in a quantum computer. Our approach is based on random matrix theory applied to quantum computations in presence of imperfections. The theoretical predictions are tested and confirmed in extensive numerical simulations of a quantum algorithm for quantum chao...

The quantum state of a system of n qubits can be represented by a Wigner function on a discrete phase space, each axis of the phase space taking values in the finite field F 2 n. Within this framework, we show that one can make sense of the notion of a " rotationally invariant state " of any collection of qubits, and that any such state is, in a well defined sense, a state of minimum uncertainty.
متن کاملDiscrete phase-space structures and Wigner functions for N qubits
We further elaborate on a phase-space picture for a system of N qubits and explore the structures compatible with the notion of unbiasedness. These consist of bundles of discrete curves satisfying certain additional properties and different entanglement properties. We discuss the construction of discrete covariant Wigner functions for these bundles and provide several illuminating examples.
متن کاملSimplified quantum error detection and correction for superconducting qubits
We analyze simple quantum error detection and quantum error correction protocols relevant to current experiments with superconducting qubits. We show that for qubits with energy relaxation the repetitive N -qubit codes cannot be used for quantum error correction, but can be used for quantum error detection. In the latter case it is sufficient to use only two qubits for the encoding. In the anal...
