Basic concepts of quantum systems versus classical networks: Research Articles

Pier Paolo Civalleri, Marco Gilli, Michele Bonnin

Published Sep 1, 2004• 1 citation
OpenAlex

Abstract

The paper is intended to establish a conceptual bridge between Classical Network Theory and Quantum Mechanics. The concept of time-reversal symmetry is extended from Quantum Mechanics to Network Theory (in the state equations description), while concepts of passivity and losslessness are extended from Network Theory to Quantum Mechanics.

A Comprehensive Study of the Basics of Quantum Networks

Shahad A. Hussein, Alharith A. Abdullah

Quantum networks are the latest networks that have the tremendous ability to perform functions that traditional networks cannot perform, like clock synchronization and secure remote computation, and others, as these networks are subject to quantum mechanics, which is considered the power of this network, such as quantum entanglement and the theory of no-cloning and others, where many studies have been presented about the quantum networks in various aspects Such as studies on communication in quantum networks, in addition to studies that include part of the principles of the work of these networks. So this research aims to present a comprehensive study on the basics of quantum networks in order to give an overview of what these networks lie. Thus, this research was able to make a general comparison between classical networks and quantum networks, in addition to presenting the principles of work of quantum networks in a clear and sequential manner.

On state equations of two-level quantum systems in a thermal environment: Research Articles

Pier Paolo Civalleri, Marco Gilli

The state equations of open two-level quantum systems, which form the building blocks of quantum cellular neural networks, are studied in arbitrary representations. It is shown that the dissipation matrix, that under the usual assumptions is diagonal in the energy representation, such remains if and only if the coupling between the states induced by an external field is real and infinitesimal.

Quantum Network for Quantum Communication

K. S. Jasmine, Sohan Gowda C

Quantum networks represent a paradigm shift in communication because they harness the principles of quantum physics to make data transfer efficient and safe. This study presents a thorough examination of quantum networks, including their fundamental concepts, potential applications, and challenges. The fundamental concepts of quantum physics are first introduced, with a focus on superposition and entanglement as the two key elements that underlie quantum networking. Quantum nodes, channels, and repeaters—the structure and components of a quantum network—are discussed, with an emphasis on how they support long-distance quantum communication. By outlining the advantages and disadvantages of quantum networks, this paper aims to contribute to the growth of this revolutionary subject and to encourage additional research and innovation.

Decoherence in quantum systems and the network paradigm

Wolfgang M. Mathis, K. Pahlke, Xu‐Bo Zou

Abstract Since quantum systems interact with their environment permanently or within a measurement process, there is much interest in concepts of open quantum system modelling. In this paper we give an overview on three different concepts in order to address this problem in the context of the network paradigm. Furthermore the modelling of spatially localized decoherence processes within the stochastic diffusion wave equation approach of Gisin et al. is briefly discussed.

Nanoscopic quantum networks: collective versus selective control

G�nter Mahler, Alexander Otte

Present-day information processing is based on the rules of classical physics. If the ubiquitous superposition principle of quantum mechanics could be harnessed, quite different and surprising rules would be at our disposal. They would give rise to the celebrated quantum parallelism allowing, e.g. for an increased efficiency of quantum over classical computing. To achieve this goal there are at least two different paradigms which could be exploited: ‘selective control’ and ‘collective control’. The latter should be an interesting alternative for nanoscopic quantum networks. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
