چکیده

Methods for measuring an integral of a classical field via local interaction of classical bits or local interaction of qubits passing through the field one at a time are analyzed. A quantum method, which has an exponentially better precision than any classical method we could see, is described.

Although the retrievable information content of a number of qubits is essentially equal to the information content which can be stored in the same number of bits [1], qubits are more efficient for many specifically tailored tasks. Recently, Galvão and Hardy [2] (GH) found one such task: pinpointing a particular property of an integral of a classical field is possible using a single qubit, but i...

Measurement of an integral of a classical field with a single quantum particle

A method for measuring an integral of a classical field via local interaction of a single quantum particle in a superposition of 2N states is presented. The method is as efficient as a quantum method with N qubits passing through the field one at a time and it is exponentially better than any known classical method that uses N bits passing through the field one at a time. A related method for s...

It’s a Good Time for Time-Bin Qubits

In contrast to classical bits of information that are either 0or1, quantum bits—or “qubits”—can be in superposition states of 0and1. Just like classical bits, however, qubits are physical objects that have to be implemented in real physical systems. Researchers have used single photons as physical qubits, with the quantum information encoded in terms of polarization, angular momentum, and many ...

The strengthened data processing inequality have been proved. The general theory have been illustrated on the simple example. Quantum information theory is a new field with potential applications for the conceptual foundation of quantum mechanics. It appears to be the basis for a proper understanding of the emerging fields of quantum computation, communication and cryptography [1-4]. Quantum in...
