چکیده

Models of quantum computing rely on transformations of the states of a quantum memory. We study mathematical aspects of a model proposed by Wu in which the memory state is changed via the scattering of incoming particles. This operation causes the memory content to deviate from a pure state, i.e. induces impurity. For nonrelativistic particles scattered from a two-state memory and sufficiently general interaction potentials in (1+1) dimensions, we express impurity in terms of quaternionic commutators. In this context, pure memory states correspond to null hyperbolic quaternions. In the case with point interactions, the scattering process amounts to appropriate rotations of quaternions in the frequency domain. Our work complements previous analyses by Margetis and Myers (2006 J. Phys. A 39 11567). PACS numbers: 03.65.−w, 03.67.−a, 03.65.Nk, 03.65.Yz, 03.67.Lx, 03.65.Pm

Operation-induced decoherence by nonrelativistic scattering from a quantum memory

Quantum computing involves transforming the state of a quantum memory. We view this operation as performed by transmitting nonrelativistic (massive) particles that scatter from the memory. By using a system of (1+1)dimensional, coupled Schrödinger equations with point interaction and narrowband incoming pulse wavefunctions, we show how the outgoing pulse becomes entangled with a two-state memor...

The effect of first order magnetic field in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot with hydrogenic impurity

In this research, the effect of the first order magnetic field on the ground-state of a centered hydrogenic donor impurity in a GaAs/AlAs spherical quantum dot has been calculated. The perturbation method has been used within the framework of effective mass approximation for these calculations.
