Quantum Computation over Continuous Variables

چکیده
This paper provides necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing a universal quantum computer over continuous variables. As an example, it is shown how a universal quantum computer for the amplitudes of the electromagnetic field might be constructed using simple linear devices such as beam splitters and phase shifters, together with squeezers and nonlinear devices such as Kerr-effect fibers and atoms in optical cavities. Such a device could in principle perform “quantum floating point” computations. Problems involving noise, finite precision, and error correction are discussed. [S0031-9007(99)08418-5]

متن کاملQuantum Cloning with Continuous Variables
Quantum information theory has developed dramatically over the past decade, driven by the prospects of quantum-enhanced communication and computation systems. Among the most striking successes, one finds for example the discovery of quantum factoring, quantum key distribution, or quantum teleportation. Most of these concepts were initially developed for discrete quantum variables, in particular...
متن کاملQuantum information with continuous variables
Quantum information is a rapidly advancing area of interdisciplinary research. It may lead to real-world applications for communication and computation unavailable without the exploitation of quantum properties such as nonorthogonality or entanglement. This article reviews the progress in quantum information based on continuous quantum variables, with emphasis on quantum optical implementations...
متن کاملDealing with entanglement of continuous variables: Schmidt decomposition with discrete sets of orthogonal functions
Bipartite and multipartite entanglement is one of the features that give rise to many of the developments of quantum computation and information, like quantum teleportation [1, 2] and quantum cryptography [3, 4], among others [5]. The evaluation of the entanglement of a composite state is thus a main task to be done. For this purpose, the Schmidt decomposition [6, 7] has proven to be a valuable...
متن کاملImplementation of continuous variable quantum cryptography in optical fibres using a go-&-return configuration
It has been demonstrated theoretically that several protocols of quantum key distribution (QKD) based on continuous variables allow one to achieve a large quantum bit rate. Some implementations of those protocols have already shown the potential of this technique [1, 2]. However, the efficiency of those protocols is very sensitive to losses and the reconciliation protocols aren’t efficient enou...
