Optical analogy to quantum Fourier transform based on pseudorandom phase ensemble

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an optical analogy to quantum Fourier tanformation based on a pseudorandom phase ensemble. The optical analogy also brings about exponential speedup over classical Fourier tanformation. Using the analogy, we demonstrate three classcial fields to realize Fourier transform similar to three quantum particles.

Optical parallel computation similar to quantum computation based on optical fields modulated with pseudorandom phase sequences

Jian Bo Fu

We propose an optical parallel computation similar to quantum computation that can be realized by introducing pseudorandom phase sequences into classical optical fields with two orthogonal modes. Based on the pseudorandom phase sequences, we first propose a theoretical framework of "phase ensemble model" referring from the concept of quantum ensemble. Using the ensemble model, we further demonstrate the inseparability of the fields similar to quantum entanglement. It is interesting that a N2^N dimensional Hilbert space spanned by N optical fields is larger than that spanned by N quantum particles. This leads a problem for our scheme that is not the lack of resources but the redundancy of resources. In order to reduce the redundancy, we propose a special sequence permutation mechanism to efficiently imitate certain quantum states, including the product state, Bell states, GHZ state and W state. For better fault tolerance, we further devise each orthogonal mode of optical fields is measured to assign discrete values. Finally, we propose a generalized gate array model to imitate some quantum algorithms, such as Shor's algorithm, Grover's algorithm and quantum Fourier algorithm. The research on the optical parallel computation might be important, for it not only has the potential beyond quantum computation, but also provides useful insights into fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics.

Pseudorandom Phase Ensemble and Nonlocal

Jian Bo Fu

In this paper, we introduce a new conception of pseudorandom phase ensemble to simulate a quantum ensemble. A pseudorandom sequence is inseparability and integral that are demonstrated only for a whole sequence not for a single phase unit, which is similar to that of quantum ensembles and a quantum particle. By using the ensemble conception, we demonstrate non-locality properties for classical fields similar to quantum entanglement.

Optical analogies to quantum states and coherent detection of pseudorandom phase sequence

Jian Bo Fu, Wenjiang Li, Yongzheng Ye

The key to optical analogy to a multi-particle quantum system is the scalable property. Optical elds modulated with pseudorandom phase sequences is an interesting solution. By utilizing the properties of pseudorandom sequences, mixing multiple optical elds are distinguished by using coherent detection and correlation analysis that are mature methods in optical communication. In this paper, we utilize the methods to investigate optical analogies to multi-particle quantum states. In order to demonstrate the feasibility, numerical simulations are carried out in the paper, which is helpful to the experimental verication in the future.

Optical analogy to quantum computation based on classical fields modulated pseudorandom phase sequences

Jian Bo Fu, Xutai Ma, Wenjiang Li +1 more

We demonstrate that a tensor product structure and optical analogy of quantum entanglement can be obtained by introducing pseudorandom phase sequences into classical fields with two orthogonal modes. Using the classical analogy, we discuss efficient simulation of several typical quantum states, including product state, Bell states, GHZ state, and W state. By performing quadrature demodulation scheme, we propose a sequence permutation mechanism to simulate certain quantum states and a generalized gate array model to simulate quantum algorithm, such as Shor's algorithm and Grover's algorithm. The research on classical simulation of quantum states is important, for it not only enables potential beyond quantum computation, but also provides useful insights into fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics.

Implementation of quantum and classical discrete fractional Fourier transforms

Steffen Weimann, Armando Pérez-Leija, Maxime Lebugle +9 more

Fourier transforms, integer and fractional, are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied science. Certainly, since the ordinary Fourier transform is merely a particular case of a continuous set of fractional Fourier domains, every property and application of the ordinary Fourier transform becomes a special case of the fractional Fourier transform. Despite the great practical importance of the discrete Fourier transform, implementation of fractional orders of the corresponding discrete operation has been elusive. Here we report classical and quantum optical realizations of the discrete fractional Fourier transform. In the context of classical optics, we implement discrete fractional Fourier transforms of exemplary wave functions and experimentally demonstrate the shift theorem. Moreover, we apply this approach in the quantum realm to Fourier transform separable and path-entangled biphoton wave functions. The proposed approach is versatile and could find applications in various fields where Fourier transforms are essential tools.
