چکیده

We define the problem “identity check”: Given a classical description of a quantum circuit, determine whether it is almost equivalent to the identity. Explicitly, the task is to decide whether the corresponding unitary is close to a complex multiple of the identity matrix with respect to the operator norm. We show that this problem is QMA-complete. A generalization of this problem is “equivalence check”: Given two descriptions of quantum circuits and a description of a common invariant subspace, decide whether the restrictions of the circuits to this subspace almost coincide. We show that equivalence check is also in QMA and hence QMA-complete. 1 Stating the problem “equivalence check” So far there is only one QMA-complete problem known, namely the 3-local Hamiltonian problem [1, 2, 3]. Here we give another example that occurs naturally in the problem of constructing quantum networks from elementary gates: Let U be a quantum network acting on n qubits that consists of two-qubit gates

A very weakly coupled scalar field with mass m and initial vacuum expectation value V will provide enough mass to close the universe provided V ≃ (3 × 10 8 GeV)(100 GeV/m) 1/4. We discuss possible models in which such a field could arise. (a) Electronic address (internet): [email protected].
