Introduction to Grassmann manifolds and quantum computation

Kazuyuki Fujii

Published Jan 1, 2002• 66 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

Geometrical aspects of quantum computing are reviewed elementarily for nonexperts and/or graduate students who are interested in both geometry and quantum computation. We show how to treat Grassmann manifolds which are very important examples of manifolds in mathematics and physics. Some of their applications to quantum computation and its efficiency problems are shown. An interesting current topic of holonomic quantum computation is also covered. Also, some related advanced topics are discussed.

Quantum Computation

Helmut Bez, Tony Croft

Quantum Computation presents the mathematics of quantum computation. The purpose is to introduce the topic of quantum computing to students in computer science, physics and mathematics who have no prior knowledge of this field. The book is written in two parts. The primary mathematical topics required for an initial understanding of quantum computation are dealt with in Part I: sets, functions, complex numbers and other relevant mathematical structures from linear and abstract algebra. Topics are illustrated with examples focussing on the quantum computational aspects which will follow in more detail in Part II. Part II discusses quantum information, quantum measurement and quantum algorithms. These topics provide foundations upon which more advanced topics may be approached with confidence. Features A more accessible approach than most competitor texts, which move into advanced, research-level topics too quickly for today's students. Part I is comprehensive in providing all necessary mathematical underpinning, particularly for those who need more opportunity to develop their mathematical competence. More confident students may move directly to Part II and dip back into Part I as a reference. Ideal for use as an introductory text for courses in quantum computing. Fully worked examples illustrate the application of mathematical techniques. Exercises throughout develop concepts and enhance understanding. End-of-chapter exercises offer more practice in developing a secure foundation.

Holonomic Quantum Computation

Angelo C. M. Carollo, Vlatko Vedral

In this brief review we describe the idea of holonomic quantum computation. The idea of geometric phase and holonomy is introduced in a general way and we provide few examples that should help the reader understand the issues involved.

Quantum optimization and maximum clique problems

Vitaliy A. Yatsenko, Pãnos M. Pardalos, Bruno H. Chiarini

This paper describes a new approach to global optimization and control uses geometric methods and modern quantum mathematics. Polynomial extremal problems (PEP) are considered. PEP constitute one of the most important subclasses of nonlinear programming models. Their distinctive feature is that an objective function and constraints can be expressed by polynomial functions in one or several variables. A general approach to optimization based on quantum holonomic computing algorithms and instanton mechanism. An optimization method based on geometric Lie - algebraic structures on Grassmann manifolds and related with Lax type flows is proposed. Making use of the differential geometric techniques it is shown that associated holonomy groups properly realizing quantum computation can be effectively found concerning polynomial problems. Two examples demonstrating calculation aspects of holonomic quantum computer and maximum clique problems in very large graphs, are considered in detail.

Classical and Quantum Statistical Physics: Fundamentals and Advanced Topics

Augusto Sagnotti, Carlo Heissenberg

Statistical Physics examines the collective properties of large ensembles of particles, and is a powerful tool with important applications across many different disciplines. This book provides a detailed introduction to classical and quantum statistical physics, including links to topics at the frontiers of current research. The first part of the the book introduces classical ensemble, provides an extensive review of Quantum Mechanics, and explains how their combination leads to the theory of Bose and Fermi gases. This allows a detailed analysis of the quantum properties of matter and introduces the exotic features of vacuum fluctuations. The second part discusses more advanced topics such as the two-dimensional Ising model and quantum spin chains. This modern text is ideal for advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in the role of statistical physics in current research. One hundred and forty homework problems reinforce key concepts and further develop reader's understanding of the subject.

Quantum Computation in Computational Geometry

Kunihiko Sadakane, Noriko SUGAWARA, Takeshi Tokuyama

We discuss applications of quantum computation to geometric data processing. These applications include problems on convex hulls, minimum enclosing balls, linear programming, and intersection problems. Technically, we apply well-known Grover’s algorithm (and its variants) combined with geometric algorithms, and no further knowledge of quantum computing is required. However, revealing these applications and emphasizing potential usefulness of quantum computation in geometric data processing will promote research and development of quantum computers and algorithms.
