Abstract

The stability of quantum computating of the kicked Harper model with various perturbations is investigated. Above a certain threshold of the imperfections, quantum chaos sets in. The effects of the noise errors and the static imperfections on the quantum computation are analyzed by comparing the statistical ergodic properties and the Husimi functions of the perturbed eigenstates with the ideal eigenstates of the Floquet operator. It is shown that the fidelity decay with static imperfections is exponential while it is Gaussian with noise errors. The time scales of reliable computation with these perturbations are obtained through numerical simulations. Due to the errors in classical computation the distance of two initial states increases exponentially, while the stability of quantum computation is independent of the integrable or chaotic nature of the underlying dynamics.

Robust quantum computation of the quantum kicked Harper model and dissipative decoherence

Bin Ye, Wenbo Xu, Gu Bin-Jie +1 more

The effects of the dissipative decoherence on the quantum computation of the quantum kicked Harper (QKH) model are investigated using the quantum trajectory approach and the quantum Monte Carlo method. The simulation shows that the dynamical localization for the QKH model and the stochastic web in phase space are destroyed by moderate levels of dissipation. Taking the phase damping channel as the noise model, the universal law for fidelity decay and the timescales of reliable computation are analyzed. Compared with the static imperfections, the timescales for reliable computation of the dissipative system drop more quickly with the increase of the number of qubits when the decay rate is under a certain threshold. While above the threshold, the timescales drop more quickly in the presence of static imperfections.

Quantum computing of quantum chaos in the kicked rotator model

B. Lévi, Bertrand Georgeot, Dima L. Shepelyansky

We investigate a quantum algorithm that simulates efficiently the quantum kicked rotator model, a system that displays rich physical properties and enables to study problems of quantum chaos, atomic physics, and localization of electrons in solids. The effects of errors in gate operations are tested on this algorithm in numerical simulations with up to 20 qubits. In this way various physical quantities are investigated. Some of them, such as second moment of probability distribution and tunneling transitions through invariant curves, are shown to be particularly sensitive to errors. However, investigations of the fidelity and the Wigner and Husimi distributions show that these physical quantities are robust in presence of imperfections. This implies that the algorithm can simulate the dynamics of quantum chaos in presence of a moderate amount of noise.

Quantum computation of a complex system: The kicked Harper model

B. Lévi, Bertrand Georgeot

The simulation of complex quantum systems on a quantum computer is studied, taking the kicked Harper model as an example. This well-studied system has a rich variety of dynamical behavior depending on parameters, displays interesting phenomena such as fractal spectra, mixed phase space, dynamical localization, anomalous diffusion, or partial delocalization, and can describe electrons in a magnetic field. Three different quantum algorithms are presented and analyzed, enabling us to simulate efficiently the evolution operator of this system with different precision using different resources. Depending on the parameters chosen, the system is near integrable, localized, or partially delocalized. In each case we identify transport or spectral quantities which can be obtained more efficiently on a quantum computer than on a classical one. In most cases, a polynomial gain compared to classical algorithms is obtained, which can be quadratic or less depending on the parameter regime. We also present the effects of static imperfections on the quantities selected and show that depending on the regime of parameters, very different behaviors are observed. Some quantities can be obtained reliably with moderate levels of imperfection even for large number of qubits, whereas others are exponentially sensitive to the number of qubits. In particular, the imperfection threshold for delocalization becomes exponentially small in the partially delocalized regime. Our results show that interesting behavior can be observed with as little as 7-8 qubits and can be reliably measured in presence of moderate levels of internal imperfections.

Quantum Computing of Quantum Chaos and Imperfection Effects

Pil Hun Song, Dima L. Shepelyansky

We study numerically the imperfection effects in the quantum computing of the kicked rotator model in the regime of quantum chaos. It is shown that there are two types of physical characteristics: for one of them the quantum computation errors grow exponentially with the number of qubits in the computer, while for the other the growth is polynomial. A certain similarity between classical and quantum computing errors is also discussed.

Effects of decoherence and imperfections for quantum algorithms

A. A. Pomeransky, O. V. Zhirov, Dima L. Shepelyansky

We study effects of static inter-qubit interactions and random errors in quantum gates on the stability of various quantum algorithms including the Grover quantum search algorithm and the quantum chaos maps. For the Grover algorithm our numerical and analytical results show existence of regular and chaotic phases depending on the static imperfection strength $ε$. The critical border $ε_c$ between two phases drops polynomially with the number of qubits $n_q$ as $ε_c \sim n_q^{-3/2}$. In the regular phase $(ε< ε_c)$ the algorithm remains robust against imperfections showing the efficiency gain $ε_c / ε$ for $ε> 2^{-n_q/2}$. In the chaotic phase $(ε> ε_c)$ the algorithm is completely destroyed. The results for the Grover algorithm are compared with the imperfection effects for quantum algorithms of quantum chaos maps where the universal law for the fidelity decay is given by the Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We also discuss a new gyroscopic quantum error correction method which allows to reduce the effect of static imperfections. In spite of this decay GYQEC allows to obtain a significant gain in the accuracy of quantum computations.

Classical versus quantum errors in quantum computation of dynamical systems

Davide Rossini, Giuliano Benenti, Giulio Casati

We analyze the stability of a quantum algorithm simulating the quantum dynamics of a system with different regimes, ranging from global chaos to integrability. We compare, in these different regimes, the behavior of the fidelity of quantum motion when the system's parameters are perturbed or when there are unitary errors in the quantum gates implementing the quantum algorithm. While the first kind of errors has a classical limit, the second one has no classical analog. It is shown that, whereas in the first case ("classical errors") the decay of fidelity is very sensitive to the dynamical regime, in the second case ("quantum errors") it is almost independent of the dynamical behavior of the simulated system. Therefore, the rich variety of behaviors found in the study of the stability of quantum motion under "classical" perturbations has no correspondence in the fidelity of quantum computation under its natural perturbations. In particular, in this latter case it is not possible to recover the semiclassical regime in which the fidelity decays with a rate given by the classical Lyapunov exponent.
