Quantum information processing and quantum logic: towards mutual illumination
نویسنده
چکیده
Quantum information and computation may serve as a source of useful axioms and ideas for the quantum structures project of characterizing and classifying types of physical theories, including quantum mechanics and classical mechanics. The axiomatic approach of quantum structures may help isolate what aspects of quantum mechanics are responsible for what aspects of its greater-than-classical information processing power, and whether more general physical theories may escape some common limitations of classical and quantum theories. Also, by by helping us understand how existing quantum algorithms work, quantum structures analyses may suggest new quantum protocols exploiting general features of quantum mechanics. I stress the importance, for these matters, of understanding open and closed-system dynamics, and the structure of composite systems in general frameworks for operational theories, such as effect algebras, convex sets, and related structures.

متن کاملEfficient Genetic Based Methods for Optimizing the Reversible and Quantum Logic Circuits
Various synthesis methods have been proposed in the literature for reversible and quantum logic circuits. However, there are few algorithms to optimize an existing circuit with multiple constraints simultaneously. In this paper, some heuristics in genetic algorithms (GA) to optimize a given circuit in terms of quantum cost, number of gates, location of garbage outputs, and delay, are proposed. ...

متن کاملQuantum Discord and Maxwell’s Demons
Quantum discord was proposed as an information theoretic measure of the “quantumness” of correlations. I show that discord determines the difference between the efficiency of quantum and classical Maxwell’s demons in extracting work from collections of correlated quantum systems. Information has an energetic value: It can be converted into work. Maxwell’s demon was introduced into thermodynamic...
