非线性量子力学中的最优态判别和非结构搜索

Optimal state discrimination and unstructured search in nonlinear quantum mechanics

Andrew M. Childs, Joshua Young

摘要:

量子力学的非线性变体可以解决标准量子理论中不可能完成的任务,例如完美区分非正交态。在这里,我们使用Gross-Pitaevskii方程推导出区分量子比特两种状态的最佳方案,Gross-Pitaevskii方程是一种非线性量子力学模型,它是玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体的有效描述。使用该协议,我们提出了一种算法,在Gross-Pitaevskii模型的非结构化搜索,获得了指数级的改善,比以前的算法的迈耶和黄。这一结果对Gross-Pitaevskii近似的有效性提出了限制。更一般地说,我们在一系列相关的非线性下表现出类似的行为,证明了快速区分非正交态的能力,从而解决了非结构化搜索是非线性量子力学的一个通用特征。

英文摘要:

Nonlinear variants of quantum mechanics can solve tasks that are impossible in standard quantum theory, such as perfectly distinguishing nonorthogonal states. Here we derive the optimal protocol for distinguishing two states of a qubit using the Gross-Pitaevskii equation, a model of nonlinear quantum mechanics that arises as an effective description of Bose-Einstein condensates. Using this protocol, we present an algorithm for unstructured search in the Gross-Pitaevskii model, obtaining an exponential improvement over a previous algorithm of Meyer and Wong. This result establishes a limitation on the effectiveness of the Gross-Pitaevskii approximation. More generally, we demonstrate similar behavior under a family of related nonlinearities, giving evidence that the ability to quickly discriminate nonorthogonal states and thereby solve unstructured search is a generic feature of nonlinear quantum mechanics.
