چکیده
Error correction in the standard meaning of the term implies the ability to correct all small analog errors and some large errors. Examining assumptions at the basis of the recently proposed quantum error-correcting codes, it is pointed out that these codes can correct only a subset of errors, and are unable to correct small phase errors which can have disastrous consequences for a quantum computation. This shortcoming will restrict their usefulness in real applications. Colours seen by candle-light Will not look the same by day.

A method for measuring an integral of a classical field via local interaction of a single quantum particle in a superposition of 2 states is presented. The method is as efficient as a quantum method with N qubits passing through the field one at a time and it is exponentially better than any known classical method that uses N bits passing through the field one at a time. A related method for se...

We construct the exchange gate with small elementary gates on the space of qudits, which consist of three controlled shift gates and three ”reverse” gates. This is a natural extension of the qubit case. We also consider a similar subject on the Fock space, but in this case it is not clear what elementary gates are. We present some related problems.

We obtain a complete and minimal set of 170 generators for the algebra of SL(2, C )-covariants of a binary quadrilinear form. Interpreted in terms of a four qubit system, this describes in particular the algebraic varieties formed by the orbits of local filtering operations in its projective Hilbert space. Also, this sheds some light on the local unitary invariants, and provides all the possibl...
