Discording power of quantum evolutions.

چکیده
We introduce the discording power of a unitary transformation, which assesses its capability to produce quantum discord, and analyze in detail the generation of discord by relevant classes of two-qubit gates. Our measure is based on the Cartan decomposition of two-qubit unitaries and on evaluating the maximum discord achievable by a unitary upon acting on classical-classical states at fixed purity. We find that there exist gates which are perfect discorders for any value of purity μ, and that they belong to a class of operators that includes the sqrt[SWAP]. Other gates, even those universal for quantum computation, do not possess the same property: the CNOT, for example, is a perfect discorder only for states with low or unit purity, but not for intermediate values. The discording power of a two-qubit unitary also provides a generalization of the corresponding measure defined for entanglement to any value of the purity.

On The Power Of Coherently Controlled Quantum Adiabatic Evolutions
A major challenge facing adiabatic quantum computing is that algorithm design and error correction can be difficult for adiabatic quantum computing. Recent work has considered addressing this challenge by using coherently controlled adiabatic evolutions in the place of classically controlled evolution. An important question remains: what is the relative power of controlled adiabatic evolution t...

Quantum simulations under translational symmetry
We investigate the power of quantum systems for the simulation of Hamiltonian time evolutions on a cubic lattice under the constraint of translational invariance. Given a set of translationally invariant local Hamiltonians and short range interactions we determine time evolutions which can and those that can not be simulated. Whereas for general spin systems no finite universal set of generatin...

متن کاملMatrix realignment and partial-transpose approach to entangling power of quantum evolutions
Given a unitary operator, in the context of quantum information 1 , one may ask how much entanglement capability the operator has. The entangling unitary operator can be considered as a resource for quantum-information processing, and it becomes important to quantitatively describe unitary operators. Recently, there is increasing interest in the entanglement capabilities of quantum evolution an...
