Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum Computing is an ever-increasing field of interest both from a conceptual and applied standpoint. Quantum Computing, belonging to the so called "Quantum Information Science", is founded on the principles of Quantum Mechanics and Information Science. Quantum Mechanics has radically changed our vision and understanding of the physical reality and has had also an enormous technological and societal impact. On the other hand, the developing of Information Theory, including computer science and communications theory, made possible the information "revolution" which had a deep impact on our everyday life. Quantum Computing then relates to the possibility to represent, process and manipulate information by using the principles of quantum mechanics. Apart the theoretical importance of quantum computing to further understand the quantum mechanical behavior of physical systems and the physical foundation of information itself at the most elementary level, probably the most interesting feature of Quantum Computing is related to the possibility to design and realize an actual quantum computer which processes information in the form of quantum-bits or qubits. The great interest of scientific community in the realization of such devices mainly concerns the common believe they could be enormously faster than their classical counterparts so allowing their employment in all the applied fields where computational power is a key feature. Furthermore, the study of Quantum Computing, both at the physical and computational level, would be very important for a deeper understanding of the quantum behavior of a very wide range of physical systems including condensed matter, living systems, elementary particles, astrophysical structures and so on. Despite the general theoretical basis of quantum computing are sufficiently understood, the actual realization of a general - purpose and really usable quantum computer has posed great difficulties so far, mainly related to the issue of "quantum decoherence", the computational speed and scalability many of which still remain substantially unsolved. This volume doesn't mean to represent a complete or a beginner guide to Quantum Computing but has the aim to present some of its most interesting and fascinating developments in different frontier areas related to both theoretical and applied aspects, such, for example, the possibility to realize a quantum superfast "hypercomputing" system using water molecules as physical substrate to process, storage and retrieve information; the connection between quantum computers and quantum gravity; the development of an "instantaneous quantum computer algorithm"; the realization of a universal quantum computer, of a brain-like quantum supercomputer and many others frontiers topics. The target audience of this book is then composed by scientists and researchers interested in the most advanced theoretical and applied developments of quantum computation and quantum information.

This book was released on 2019-04-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quantum mechanics, the subfield of physics that describes the behavior of very small (quantum) particles, provides the basis for a new paradigm of computing. First proposed in the 1980s as a way to improve computational modeling of quantum systems, the field of quantum computing has recently garnered significant attention due to progress in building small-scale devices. However, significant technical advances will be required before a large-scale, practical quantum computer can be achieved. Quantum Computing: Progress and Prospects provides an introduction to the field, including the unique characteristics and constraints of the technology, and assesses the feasibility and implications of creating a functional quantum computer capable of addressing real-world problems. This report considers hardware and software requirements, quantum algorithms, drivers of advances in quantum computing and quantum devices, benchmarks associated with relevant use cases, the time and resources required, and how to assess the probability of success.

Download or read book Quantum Information Science written by Klaus Petritsch and published by Arcler Press. This book was released on 2018-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prospect to perform certain computational tasks, such as search, optimization, and simulations much faster than what conventional computers can ever achieve, has fueled the development of Quantum Information Science and related fields for about three decades. Quantum entanglement, which makes it possible that more than one particle can be described by the same wavefunction, as well as the superposition of states are unique phenomena in quantum mechanics. They enable exciting new ways to process, transmit, and obtain information. See the chart below for the main branches that make up the exciting new field of Quantum Information Science, which - while still in its infancy - has the potential to change the world as we know it in the next decades. Due to rapid progress during the past years, the book includes selected research published mostly between 2016 and 2018. It starts with an introduction chapter that includes a short update of this new bur rapidly evolving field and two related unique phenomena like the observation of nonlocal position-changes of a photon and the concept of spatio-temporal steering. The latter is a new way to assess nonclassical correlations in an open quantum-network. This is followed by a large section on quantum computing, which begins with reviews of the progress of trapped-ion processors focusing on laser-based quantum gates and twisted photons that enable more than two states - so called qudits. Silicon-based architectures, components and semiconductor-inspired design principles for quantum computers are described in the following papers before several types of quantum algorithms are reviewed, including quantum genetic algorithms and a complete 3-qubit Grover search-algorithm. The end of the computing chapter is marked by a series of papers on quantum machine-learning - a field with the potential to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence considerably. Machine-learning-related themes here-include the dramatically improved performance through reinforcement learning, and quantum entanglement in neuronal network states that focuses on the restricted Boltzmann-machine architecture. The section on quantum cryptography and sensing starts with an investigation of the fundamental limits for repeaterless quantum communication which provides precise and general benchmarks for quantum repeaters. The ability to quantum-process already encrypted data is then investigated, which opens new avenues for secure cloud-computing. A secure communication alternative to quantum key distribution, quantum secure direct communication, was experimentally realized in the next paper. The book finishes with three papers on quantum sensing i.e. quantum metrology. These studies show how rendering the dynamics of quantum sensors chaotic can enhance the sensitivity without relying on the preparation or stabilization of highly-entangled states. Furthermore, it is found that the Heisenberg limit can be approached by using quantum error-correction and that the synchronization of distant optical docks at the femtosecond level is possible.

Download or read book Will We Ever Have a Quantum Computer written by Mikhail I. Dyakonov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a broad community of physicists, engineers, computer scientists and industry professionals, as well as the general public, who are aware of the unprecedented media hype surrounding the supposedly imminent new era of quantum computing. The central argument of this book is that the feasibility of quantum computing in the physical world is extremely doubtful. The hypothetical quantum computer is not simply a quantum variant of the conventional digital computer, but rather a quantum extension of a classical analog computer operating with continuous parameters. In order to have a useful machine, the number of continuous parameters to control would have to be of such an astronomically large magnitude as to render the endeavor virtually infeasible. This viewpoint is based on the author’s expert understanding of the gargantuan challenges that would have to be overcome to ever make quantum computing a reality. Knowledge of secondary-school-level physics and math will be sufficient for understanding most of the text.
