Logical Reversibility and Physical Reversibility in Quantum Measurement
A quantum measurement is logically reversible if the premeasurement density operator of the measured system can be calculated from the postmeasurement density operator and from the outcome of the measurement. This paper analyzes why many quantum measurements are logically irreversible, shows how to make them logically reversible, and discusses reversing measurement that returns the postmeasurem...
متن کاملReversibility in Extended Measurement-Based Quantum Computation
When applied on some particular quantum entangled states, measurements are universal for quantum computing. In particular, despite the fondamental probabilistic evolution of quantum measurements, any unitary evolution can be simulated by a measurement-based quantum computer (MBQC). We consider the extended version of the MBQC where each measurement can occur not only in the (X,Y)-plane of the B...
متن کاملQuantum reversibility: is there an echo?
We study the possibility to undo the quantum mechanical evolution in a time reversal experiment. The naive expectation, as reflected in the common terminology ("Loschmidt echo"), is that maximum compensation results if the reversed dynamics extends to the same time as the forward evolution. We challenge this belief and demonstrate that the time t(r) for maximum return probability is in general ...
متن کاملQuantum state sensitivity to initial conditions
The different time-dependent distances of two arbitrarily close quantum or classical-statistical states to a third fixed state are shown to imply an experimentally relevant notion of state sensitivity to initial conditions. A quantitative classification scheme of quantum states by their sensitivity and instability in state space is given that reduces to the one performed by classicalmechanical ...
متن کاملDynamical initial conditions in quantum cosmology.
Loop quantum cosmology is shown to provide both the dynamical law and initial conditions for the wave function of a universe by one discrete evolution equation. Accompanied by the condition that semiclassical behavior is obtained at large volume, a unique wave function is predicted.
