On swapping the states of two qudits

چکیده
Abstract. The SWAP gate has become an integral feature of quantum circuit architectures and is designed to permute the states of two qubits through the use of the well-known controlled-NOT gate. We consider the question of whether a two-qudit quantum circuit composed entirely from instances of the generalised controlled-NOT gate can be constructed to permute the states of two qudits. Arguing via the signature of a permutation, we demonstrate the impossibility of such circuits for dimensions d ≡ 3 (mod 4).

Generation of qudits and entangled qudits
We propose schemes for the generation of d-level quantum states qudits and quantum entangled states of N qudits by adopting the polarization degree of freedom of photons. Arbitrary qudits can be prepared by putting d−1 identical and independent photons each with a given polarization into a single spatial and temporal mode. Then, by using N such qudits, linear optics, and proper projection measu...
متن کاملCounterexamples to Kalai's conjecture C
1 The First Counterexample Let ρ be a quantum state on the space (C) of n qudits (d-dimensional quantum systems). Denote by ρS the reduced state of ρ onto some subset S of the qudits. We partition S further into two nonempty subsets of qudits A and A := S\A (thus S must contain at least two qudits). Denote by Sep(A) the convex set of quantum states which are bipartite separable on S across the ...
متن کاملQuantum Teleportation between Multiparties
The paper presents general protocols for quantum teleportation between multiparties. It is shown how N parties can teleport N unknown quantum states to M other parties with the use of M N + qudits in the maximally entangled state. It is also shown that a single pair of qudits in the maximally entangled state can be used to teleport two qudits in opposite directions simultaneously. PACS number(s...
متن کاملA special simplex in the state space for entangled qudits
Focus is on two parties with Hilbert spaces of dimension d, i.e. “qudits”. In the state space of these two possibly entangled qudits an analogue to the well known tetrahedron with the four qubit Bell states at the vertices is presented. The simplex analogue to this magic tetrahedron includes mixed states. Each of these states appears to each of the two parties as the maximally mixed state. Some...
متن کاملGraph states of prime-power dimension from generalized CNOT quantum circuit
We construct multipartite graph states whose dimension is the power of a prime number. This is realized by the finite field, as well as the generalized controlled-NOT quantum circuit acting on two qudits. We propose the standard form of graph states up to local unitary transformations and particle permutations. The form greatly simplifies the classification of graph states as we illustrate up t...
