Quantum Computation via Entanglement and Decoherence
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper investigates a novel approach to distributed quantum computation leveraging the principles of quantum decoherence. We propose a network architecture designed to harness the inherent properties of entangled quantum states and their susceptibility to decoherence to achieve distributed parallel computation. The core concept involves utilizing the controlled interaction of entangled qubits across a network to perform computations, exploiting the gradual loss of quantum information due to environmental interactions as a fundamental component of the computation process. This architecture moves beyond traditional quantum computing approaches that rely solely on maintaining coherence for extended periods, offering a potentially more scalable and robust solution for certain distributed computation tasks. The theoretical framework presented outlines the key components and operational principles of the network, emphasizing the role of decoherence in shaping the computational process. We demonstrate a conceptual model for this system, focusing on the mathematical representation of quantum states and the decoherence dynamics involved, without requiring experimental validation.
