Impossibility of deleting an unknown quantum state Arun
A photon in an arbitrary polarization state cannot be cloned perfectly. But suppose that at our disposal we have several copies of an unknown photon. Is it possible to delete the information content of one or more of these photons by a physical process? Specifically, if two photons are in the same initial polarization state is there a mechanism that produces one photon in the same initial state...
متن کاملQuantum deleting and signalling
It is known that if one could clone an arbitrary quantum state then one could send signals faster than the speed of light. Here, we show that deletion of an unknown quantum state for which two copies are available would also lead to superluminal signalling. However, the (Landauer) erasure of an unknown quantum state does not allow faster-than-light communication. 2003 Published by Elsevier B.V.
متن کاملMeasuring bipartite quantum correlations of an unknown state.
We report the experimental measurement of bipartite quantum correlations of an unknown two-qubit state. Using a liquid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance setup and employing geometric discord, we evaluate the quantum correlations of a state without resorting to prior knowledge of its density matrix. The method is applicable to any 2 ⊗ d system and provides, in terms of number of measurements requ...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno effect and the impossibility of determining the quantum state of a single system
The quantum Zeno effect of a single system is the effect of a series of measurements on the unitary time evolution of the system and on the ability to monitor this time evolution using the measurement results. This effect is shown to be equivalent to that of the indetermination of the quantum state of a single system @Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4106 ~1995!#, in which one considers the statistics of t...
متن کاملImpossibility of quantum string commitment
String commitment schemes are similar to the well studied bit commitment schemes in cryptography with the difference that the committing party, say Alice is supposed to commit a long string instead of a single bit, to another party say Bob. Similar to bit commitment schemes, such schemes are supposed to be binding, i.e Alice cannot change her choice after committing and concealing i.e. Bob cann...
