量子计算的一致性与等效原理
Consistency of quantum computation and the equivalence principle
AI总结:
本文通过分析引力场与加速参考系中的循环量子演化,证明若缺乏等效原理则演化无法保持幺正一致性,从而表明量子信息处理需要等效原理的量子化版本。
摘要:
等效原理作为广义相对论的基石之一,似乎对于分析引力中的量子效应也至关重要。本文考虑的问题是:为了在引力场中执行量子计算的一致性,是否必须满足等效原理。我们提出一种分析,其中包含一个循环演化,该演化由在引力场中和在加速参考系中的步骤共同组成。我们证明,若没有等效原理,循环量子演化将无法是幺正的,并会丧失其一致性。为此,等效原理以规范变换的形式表述,并针对粒子在循环路径上获得与作用量相关的适当相位的情形进行分析。因此,为了保持引力场中量子操作的一致性,需要保留等效原理的某种量子变体。这证明了这一基本引力原理的量子化版本对于量子信息处理的重要性。
英文摘要:
The equivalence principle, being one of the building blocks of general relativity, seems to be also crucial for analysis of quantum effects in gravity. In this paper we consider the question if the equivalence principle has to hold for consistency of performing quantum computation in gravitational field. We propose an analysis with a looped evolution consisting of steps both in the gravitational field and in the accelerated reference frame. We show that without the equivalence principle the looped quantum evolution cannot be unitary and looses its consistency. For this reasoning the equivalence principle is formulated in terms of the gauge transformations and is analyzed for particles acquiring an appropriate phases associated with the actions over the looped path. In consequence, to keep consistency of quantum operations in gravitational field, it is required to keep some quantum variant of the equivalence principle. This proves importance of the quantized versions of this fundamental gravitational principle for quantum information processing.
