The Quantum Frontier
The success of the abstract model of computation, in terms of bits, logical operations, programming language constructs, and the like, makes it easy to forget that computation is a physical process. Our cherished notions of computation and information are grounded in classical mechanics, but the physics underlying our world is quantum. In the early 80s researchers began to ask how computation w...
متن کاملOn the Quantum Formalization of Coherent Light in HOL
During the last decade, formal methods, in particular theorem proving, have proven to be effective as analysis tools in different fields. Among them, quantum optics is a potential area of the application of theorem proving that can enhance the analysis results of traditional techniques, e.g., paper-and-pencil and lab simulation. In this paper, we present the formal definition of coherent light,...
متن کاملQuantum Information: The New Frontier
Quantum information and computation is the new hype in physics. It is promising, mindboggling and even already applicable in cryptography, with good prospects ahead. A brief, rather subjective outline is presented. 1 Is Nature telling us something? Friends in experimental physics tell me that the essence of their observations are clicks in some counter. There is a click or there is none. This i...
متن کاملQuantum Computation—The Ultimate Frontier
The discovery of an algorithm for factoring which runs in polynomial time on a quantum computer has given rise to a concerted effort to understand the principles, advantages, and limitations of quantum computing. At the same time, many different quantum systems are being explored for their suitability to serve as a physical substrate for the quantum computer of the future. I discuss some of the...
متن کاملCoherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System
The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
