چکیده

We examine the measurability of the temporal ordering of two events, as well as event coincidences. In classical mechanics, a measurement of the order-of-arrival of two particles is shown to be equivalent to a measurement involving only one particle (in higher dimensions). In quantum mechanics, we find that diffraction effects introduce a minimum inaccuracy to which the temporal order-of-arrival can be determined unambiguously. The minimum inaccuracy of the measurement is given by δt = ¯ h/ ¯ E where ¯ E is the total kinetic energy of the two particles. Similar restrictions apply to the case of coincidence measurements.

Temporal Planning for Compilation of Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm Circuits

We investigate the application of temporal planners to the problem of compiling quantum circuits to newly emerging quantum hardware. While our approach is general, we focus our initial experiments on Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) circuits that have few ordering constraints and allow highly parallel plans. We report on experiments using several temporal planners to compile ci...

Structure behind Mechanics II: Deduction

This paper proves that protomechanics, previously introduced in quant-ph/9909025, deduces both quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. It does not only solve the problem of the arbitrariness on the operator ordering for the quantization procedure, but also that of the analyticity at the exact classical-limit of h̄ = 0. In addition, proto-mechanics proves valid also for the description of a ha...

Quantum Computing Assisted Medium Access Control for Multiple Client Station Networks

A medium access control protocol based on quantum entanglement has been introduced by Berces and Imre (2006) and Van Meter (2012). This protocol entirely avoids collisions. It is assumed that the network consists of one access point and two client stations. We extend this scheme to a network with an arbitrary number of client stations. We propose three approaches, namely, the qubit distribution...

Imbedding nonlocality in a relativistic chronology

An alternative description imbedding nonlocality in a relativistic chronology is proposed. It is argued that vindication of Quantum Mechanics in experiments with moving beam-splitters would mean that there is no real time ordering behind the nonlocal correlations PACS numbers : 03.65.Bz, 03.30.+p, 03.67.Hk, 42.79.J The relationship between Quantum Mechanics and Relativity has been object of vas...
