Optimization and experimental realization of the quantum permutation algorithm

Abstract

The quantum permutation algorithm provides computational speed-up over classical algorithms for determining the parity of a given cyclic permutation. For its $n$-qubit implementations, the number of required quantum gates scales quadratically with $n$ due to the quantum Fourier transforms included. We show here for the $n$-qubit case that the algorithm can be simplified so that it requires only $O(n)$ quantum gates, which theoretically reduces the complexity of the implementation. To test our results experimentally, we utilize IBM's 5-qubit quantum processor to realize the algorithm by using the original and simplified recipes for the 2-qubit case. It turns out that the latter results in a significantly higher success probability which allows us to verify the algorithm more precisely than the previous experimental realizations. We also verify the algorithm for the first time for the 3-qubit case with a considerable success probability by taking the advantage of our simplified scheme.

Implementation of quantum permutation algorithm with classical light

Shihao Zhang, Pengyun Li, Bo Wang +2 more

We report the experimental implementation of quantum permutation algorithm using polarization and orbital angular momentum of the classical optical beam. The easy-handling optical setup to realize all eight cyclic permutation transformations for an input four-dimensional system has been constructed. The two-to-one speed-up ratio to determine the parity of each permutation has been demonstrated. Moreover, we have theoretically discussed the extension to the case with eight elements, and the limitations on the generalization of our proposal to higher-dimensional cases. Our scheme exhibits outstanding stability and demonstrates that optical quantum computation is possible using classical states of light.

EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATIONS OF THE QUANTUM FOURIER TRANSFORM: AN EXPERIMENTAL PERSPECTIVE

Kavita Dorai, Dieter Suter

The Quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is a key ingredient in most quantum algorithms. We have compared various spin-based quantum computing schemes to implement the QFT from the point of view of their actual time-costs and the accuracy of the implementation. We focus here on an interesting decomposition of the QFT as a product of the non-selective Hadamard transformation followed by multiqubit gates corresponding to square- and higher-roots of controlled-NOT gates. This decomposition requires only O(n) operations and is thus linear in the number of qubits n. The schemes were implemented on a two-qubit NMR quantum information processor and the resultant density matrices reconstructed using standard quantum state tomography techniques. Their experimental fidelities have been measured and compared.

Optimal control of hybrid qubits: Implementing the quantum permutation algorithm

Carlos Mario Rivera Ruiz, Emanuel F. de Lima, F. F. Fanchini +2 more

The optimal quantum control theory is employed to determine electric pulses capable of producing quantum gates with a fidelity higher than 0.9997, when noise is not taken into account. Particularly, these quantum gates were chosen to perform the permutation algorithm in hybrid qubits in double quantum dots (DQDs). The permutation algorithm is an oracle based quantum algorithm that solves the problem of the permutation parity faster than a classical algorithm without the necessity of entanglement between particles. The only requirement for achieving the speedup is the use of a one-particle quantum system with at least three levels. The high fidelity found in our results is closely related to the quantum speed limit, which is a measure of how fast a quantum state can be manipulated. Furthermore, we model charge noise by considering an average over the optimal field centered at different values of the reference detuning, which follows a Gaussian distribution. When the Gaussian spread is of the order of 5 $\ensuremath{\mu}\text{eV}$ (10% of the correct value), the fidelity is still higher than 0.95. Our scheme also can be used for the practical realization of different quantum algorithms in DQDs.

Demonstrating quantum algorithm acceleration with NMR quantum computer

Mikio Nakahara, Yasushi Kondo, Kazuya Hata +1 more

In general, a quantum circuit is constructed with elementary gates, such as one-qubit gates and CNOT gates. It is possible, however, to speed up the execution time of a given circuit by merging those elementary gates together into larger modules, such that the desired unitary matrix expressing the algorithm is directly implemented. We demonstrate this experimentally by taking the two-qubit Grover's algorithm implemented in NMR quantum computations, whose pseudopure state is generated by cyclic permutations of the state populations. This is the first exact time-optimal solution, to our knowledge, obtained for a self-contained quantum algorithm.

Quantum Algorithms and their Implementation on Quantum Computer Simulators

Mike van der Lans

Quantum computation is becoming an increasingly interesting field, especially with the rise of real quantum computers. However, current quantum processors contain a few tens of error-prone qubits and the realization of large-scale quantum computers is still very challenging. Therefore, quantum computer simulators are particularly suitable for testing and analysing quantum algorithms without having a real quantum computer at one's disposal. In this thesis, different quantum algorithms such as Grover's and Shor's algorithm as well as key quantum routines such as the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and a quantum adder/subtractor are described and analysed (optimal number of iterations, time complexity). Some of them have been implemented for an arbitrary number of qubits and have been simulated using two different quantum simulators, the QX simulator developed at QuTech and the Liquid simulator from Microsoft. In addition, how errors affect the success rate of the algorithms has been investigated.
