Abstract

The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary investigation on the performance between a high-performance silicon computer and a quantum computer in terms of programming control statements. The study hypothesizes that the quantum computer would outperform the silicon computer in terms of processing performance. There were three types of experimental performance analysis scenarios conducted under the context of basic programming statements which are the ' for loop ', ' while ', and, ' if else ' control statements. To obtain the average of the completion times, the experiments were repeated five times. The obtained results suggest that the silicon computers outperformed the quantum processing capabilities.

Exploration of Optimization Algorithms for Brain-Computer Interfaces Combined with Quantum Computing

Hulin Jin, Zhiran Jin, Yong-Guk Kim +2 more

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, as a key means of human-computer interaction, has a wide range of applications in the fields of neurorehabilitation, brain-control devices, and intelligent medicine. However, existing BCI systems suffer from high computational complexity, low decoding accuracy, and limited real-time performance during neural signal processing, which restricts their practical applications. In this study, a quantum-enhanced BCI optimization algorithm is proposed to address this technical bottleneck by combining the parallel computing capability and nonlinear optimization characteristics of quantum computing. The study constructs a quantum-classical hybrid computing architecture, uses quantum Fourier transform (QFT) to enhance the efficiency of time-frequency analysis of EEG signals, introduces quantum principal component analysis (QPCA) to optimize the dimensionality reduction of high-dimensional data, and enhances the generalization ability of motion intent classification by combining with quantum support vector machines (QSVMs), and verifies the effectiveness of the method in experiments. The results show that the method outperforms the traditional BCI algorithm in terms of decoding accuracy, computational efficiency and real-time performance, and the system end-to-end latency is controlled within 200ms, which meets the demands of online brain-computer interaction. This study provides theoretical support and experimental validation for the application of quantum computing in the field of brain-computer interface, which can be further expanded to closed-loop neuromodulation, intelligent prosthesis control and other application scenarios in the future, providing new ideas for the development of high-efficiency brain-computer interaction technology.

QUANTUM COMPUTER: HOW FEASIBLE IS THE IDEA?

L. C. Kwek, ARTUR K. EKERT

The need for increased memory space and higher speed in computers has fueled the demand for smaller and faster computers. However, as the computer chips miniaturize, it becomes inevitable that we need to look at the possibility of manipulating and addressing atoms and molecules individually. One such possibility is a feasibility study of a quantum computer. In this report, we summarize some of the progress made in experimental realization of quantum computer in the last few years.

Remarks on Servo Controller Using Quantum Neural Network with Qubit Neurons

Kazuhiko Takahashi

This paper presents the servo controller design of using a quantum neural network and investigates its characteristics for control systems. A multi-layer quantum neural network that uses qubit neurons as an information processing unit is used to design three types of neural network-based servo controller: the direct controller, the parallel controller and the self-tuning controller. Computational experiments to control the nonlinear discrete-time plant are conducted in order to evaluate the learning performance and the capability of the quantum neural controller. The results of the computational experiments confirm both the feasibility and effectiveness of the quantum neural controllers.

The Comparison of the computing ability of quantum and conventional computer

Haoxin Li, Guangyu Zhao

Contemporarily, whether quantum computing performs better than conventional computers remain an unresolved issue. In this paper, we compare the time complexity between quantum and conventional computers for a specific type of issue. Theoretically, quantum computation is better in solving nonlinear calculations, the quantitative evaluation of the computing ability should be investigated. In this paper, the Fourier transform was applied in both classical and quantum logical circuits to calculate the theoretical time complexities respectively and make a comparison after that. According to the analysis, the ideal quantum computer performed really fast as the number of tasks increased, but the gate-level accurate quantum circuit, which was a simulated circuit was running slower. The paper shows that the current technology cannot perform the perfect quantum computer, but the future of it would be very promising. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of quantum computing.

Quantum Programming Language NDQJava2 Processing System: Assembler and Interpreter

Zhu Zhengwen

NDQJava2 is a hybrid, structured and imperative quantum programming language, which is an extension of NDQJava with some additional quantum components, such as quantum conditional statement, quantum loop statement, quantum subprogram, quantum module and quantum exception handling mechanism. To execute NDQJava2 programs on a classical computer, this paper gives the design of the basic instruction set and assembly instruction set of a conceivable quantum computer, and the implementation of the corresponding assembler and interpreter. Combined with the other parts of the processing system, the Deutsch algorithm is verified. Experiments show that the assembler and interpreter achieve the desired purpose.
