Quantum Computing and the Riemann Hypothesis

McGuigan, Michael

Published Mar 7, 2023• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

Quantum computing is a promising new area of computing with quantum algorithms offering a potential speedup over classical algorithms if fault tolerant quantum computers can be built. One of the first applications of the classical computer was to the study of the Riemann hypothesis and quantum computers may be applied to this problem as well. In this paper we apply the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) to study three functions with non-trivial zeros obeying a version of the Riemann hypothesis. We perform our quantum computations with six qubits, but more qubits can be used if quantum error correction allows the QFT algorithm to scale. We represent these functions as ground state wave functions transformed to momentum space. We show how to obtain these functions as states in supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Finally we discuss the relation of these functions to (p,1) Random two matrix models at large N.

Title: The Riemann Hypothesis Revisited: Quantum-Enhanced Non-Euclidean Geometry – A New Computational Paradigm

Jincheng Zhang

The Riemann Hypothesis, a cornerstone of number theory, remains one of the most persistent and challenging unsolved problems in mathematics. Its implications extend far beyond its immediate mathematical value, touching upon fundamental questions about the nature of space and the distribution of prime numbers. This paper explores a novel computational paradigm centered on quantum entanglement, proposing a method for exploring the Riemann Hypothesis space through a quantum superposition of geometries. We investigate the potential of this approach to identify subtle patterns and correlations that are currently obscured by classical computation, potentially offering a pathway to a deeper understanding of the hypothesis's implications. We outline a preliminary algorithm and discuss the theoretical implications of utilizing quantum entanglement to address this longstanding challenge.

A Comparative Study of Classical and Quantum Computing: Concepts, Circuits, and Real-World Applications

K.V. Rama Raoa, N. Srinivasb, K. Rama Krishnaiahc +1 more

Quantum computing leverages quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition, entanglement and interference to solve classes of problems that are intractable on classical machines.This paper unifies three complementary perspectives: (i) the central role of complex matrices in modelling quantum states, gates and error-correction protocols; (ii) the pervasive use of trigonometric functions in qubit representation, phase manipulation and the quantum Fourier transform (QFT); and (iii) a systematic comparison of classical and quantum computing paradigms with illustrative circuits and real-world applications.By integrating these dimensions, the study provides a consolidated reference that elucidates the mathematical foundations, circuit constructions, algorithmic advantages and practical challenges that define contemporary quantum information processing.

Title: Quantum-Enhanced Riemann Hypothesis

Jincheng Zhang

The Riemann Hypothesis, a long-standing unsolved problem in mathematics, concerns the distribution of prime numbers. Despite extensive research, no definitive proof remains elusive. This paper explores a novel quantum algorithm designed to approximate the Riemann zeta function, aiming to provide exponential speedups over classical methods. We propose a hybrid quantum-classical approach, utilizing quantum superposition and entanglement to efficiently explore the zeta function's complex landscape, ultimately leading to a significant computational advantage. This research focuses on the fundamental potential of quantum computation to address this mathematical challenge.

Quantum-Enhanced Riemann Hypothesis Testing

Jincheng Zhang

The Riemann Hypothesis, a long-standing unsolved problem in number theory, remains one of the most challenging mathematical puzzles. Traditional methods struggle to efficiently explore the vast solution space, hindering progress towards a definitive proof. This paper proposes a novel approach utilizing quantum-enhanced Riemann Hypothesis testing, specifically employing a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm. We hypothesize that quantum superposition, coupled with probabilistic error correction, can dramatically accelerate the search for solutions and provide novel insights into the hypothesis. The core mechanism involves a 'Quantum Monte Carlo' simulation, refined with classical optimization, designed to effectively navigate the hypothesis space. This work offers a potential paradigm shift in the testing process, potentially unlocking new avenues for investigation and pushing the boundaries of number-theoretic research.

Quantum models of the Riemann zeta function, lattice spin models and algebraic models of entanglement

Nikolaj Glazunov

A brief overview of results concerning the connection between the Hilbert-Polya conjecture and the Riemann hypothesis about the Riemann zeta function, some new results on p-adic quantum computing, quantum entanglement based on lattice spin models and algebraic entanglement models is given. Quantum computing uses both photons and electrons, so their known properties are (very briefly) presented.

Energetics of Fault-Tolerant Spin-Qubit Quantum Computation

João Santos, Jayshankar Nath, Marco Pezzutto +3 more

Semiconductor spin qubits offer a promising route to compact and scalable quantum computers, combining long coherence times in isotopically purified silicon with compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing. Beyond computational speedup, their energy efficiency is an important consideration for future large-scale systems. We evaluate the power and energy requirements of a Loss-DiVincenzo spin-qubit quantum computer by analyzing the Quantum Fourier Transform (QFT) and benchmarking it against the classical Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). We develop a detailed energy budget, identifying cryogenic cooling as the dominant baseline contribution before quantum error correction (QEC). The comparison between the QFT and the classical FFT reveals that, for any quantum workload operating under a polynomially bounded sampling regime, the crossover in energy consumption occurs at smaller problem sizes than the crossover in execution time. Thus, quantum computing can become energetically competitive before achieving a speedup in execution time. We then incorporate surface-code QEC and analyze the energy costs of QEC cycles, gate synthesis, and decoding. At scale, instrumentation and decoding become dominant contributions, while cryogenic cooling imposes a constraint on scalability. We show that optimizing the control-signal demultiplexing ratio can reduce the overall energy cost by approximately two orders of magnitude. For a system with about one million physical qubits, we estimate a power consumption of approximately 100 kW, at least one order of magnitude below that of today's highest-performance classical computing systems.
