The design of new quantum algorithms has proven to be an extremely difficult task. This paper considers a different approach to this task by studying the problem of quantum state generation. We motivate this problem by showing that the entire class of statistical zero knowledge, which contains natural candidates for efficient quantum algorithms such as graph isomorphism and lattice problems, ca...

We introduce quantum finite state transducers (qfst), and study the class of relations which they compute. It turns out that they share many features with probabilistic finite state transducers, especially regarding undecidability of emptiness (at least for low probability of success). However, like their ‘little brothers’, the quantum finite automata, the power of qfst is incomparable to that ...

This thesis is concerned with retrodiction and measurement in quantum optics. The latter of these two concepts is studied in particular form with a general optical multiport device, consisting of an arbitrary array of beam-splitters and phase-shifters. I show how such an apparatus generalizes the original projection synthesis technique, introduced as an in principle technique to measure the can...

In this paper, some properties of multi-qubit states traveling in non-inertial frames are investigated, where we assume that all particles are accelerated. These properties are including fidelities, capacities and entanglement of the accelerated channels for three different states, namely, Greeberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, GHZ-like state and W-state. It is shown here that all these proper...

In this report, we present a facile approach for the synthesis of luminescent CdS and CdS:Mn+2 nanocrystals by reaction of CdSO4 and Na2S2O3 in the presence of thioglycerol (C3H8O2S) as capping agent. The influence of various experimental variables including, pH values and percentage of dopant, on the growth...
