We extend the former matrix rearrangement approach of the entangling power to the general cases, without requirement of same dimensions of the subsystems. The entangling power of a unitary operator is completely determined by its realignment and partial transposition. As applications, we calculate the entangling power for the Ising interaction and the isotropic Heisenberg interaction in the hybrid qudit $d_1 \times d_2$ systems.

AbstractWe analyze the mathematical structure of the classical Grover’s algorithm and put it within the framework of linear algebra over the complex numbers. We also generalize it in the sense, that we are seeking not the one ‘chosen’ element (sometimes called a ‘solution’) of the dataset, but a set of m such ‘chosen’ elements (out of $$n>m)$$ n > m ) . Besides, we do not assume that the so-called initial superposition is uniform. We assume also that we have at our disposal an oracle that ‘marks,’ by a suitable phase change $$\varphi $$ φ , all these ‘chosen’ elements. In the first part of the paper, we construct a unique unitary operator that selects all ‘chosen’ elements in one step. The constructed operator is uniquely defined by the numbers $$\varphi $$ φ and $$\alpha $$ α which is a certain function of the coefficients of the initial superposition. Moreover, it is in the form of a composition of two so-called reflections. The result is purely theoretical since the phase change required to reach this heavily depends on $$\alpha $$ α . In the second part, we construct unitary operators having a form of composition of two or more reflections (generalizing the constructed operator) given the set of orthogonal versors. We find properties of these operations, in particular, their compositions. Further, by considering a fixed, ‘convenient’ phase change $$\varphi ,$$ φ , and by sequentially applying the so-constructed operator, we find the number of steps to find these ‘chosen’ elements with great probability. We apply this knowledge to study the generalizations of Grover’s algorithm ($$m=1,\phi =\pi $$ m = 1 , ϕ = π ), which are of the form, the found previously, unitary operators.

In this work, we propose a method to investigate the factorization property of a adjontable Markov operator between two algebraic probability spaces without using the dilation theory. Assuming the existence of an anti-unitary operator on Hilbert space related to Stinespring representations of our Markov operator, which satisfy some particular modular relations, we prove that it admits a factorization. The method is tested on the two typologies of maps which we know admits a factorization, the Markov operators between commutative probability spaces and adjontable homomorphism. Subsequently, we apply these methods to particular adjontable Markov operator between matrix algebra which fixes the diagonal.

A general method for deriving Girsanov or quasi-invariance formulas for classical stochastic processes with independent increments obtained as components of Lévy processes on real Lie algebras is presented. Letting a unitary operator arising from the associated factorizable current representation act on an appropriate commutative subalgebra, a second commutative subalgebra is obtained. Under certain conditions the two commutative subalgebras lead to two classical processes such that the law of the second process is absolutely continuous w.r.t. to the first. Examples include the Girsanov formula for Brownian motion as well as quasi-invariance formulas for the Poisson process, the Gamma process,15,16 and the Meixner process.

Abstract The paradigm of variational quantum classifiers (VQCs) encodes classical information as quantum states, followed by quantum processing and then measurements to generate classical predictions. VQCs are promising candidates for efficient utilizations of noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) devices: classifiers involving M-dimensional datasets can be implemented with only ⌈log2 M⌉ qubits by using an amplitude encoding. A general framework for designing and training VQCs, however, is lacking. An encouraging specific embodiment of VQCs, quantum circuit learning (QCL), utilizes an ansatz: a circuit with a predetermined circuit geometry and parametrized gates expressing a time-evolution unitary operator; training involves learning the gate parameters through a gradient- descent algorithm where the gradients themselves can be efficiently estimated by the quantum circuit. The representational power of QCL, however, depends strongly on the choice of the ansatz, as it limits the range of possible unitary operators that a VQC can search over. Equally importantly, the landscape of the optimization problem may have challenging properties such as barren plateaus and the associated gradient-descent algorithm may not find good local minima. Thus, it is critically important to estimate (i) the price of ansatz; that is, the gap between the performance of QCL and the performance of ansatz-independent VQCs, and (ii) the price of using quantum circuits as classical classifiers: that is, the performance gap between VQCs and equivalent classical classifiers. This paper develops a computational framework to address both these open problems. First, it shows that VQCs, including QCL, fit inside the well-known kernel method. Next it introduces a framework for efficiently designing ansatz-independent VQCs, which we call the unitary kernel method (UKM). The UKM framework enables one to estimate the first known bounds on both the price of anstaz and the price of any speedup advantages of VQCs: numerical results with datatsets of various dimensions, ranging from 4 to 256, show that the ansatz-induced gap can vary between 10−20%, while the VQC-induced gap (between VQC and kernel method) can vary between 10−16%. To further understand the role of ansatz in VQCs, we also propose a method of decomposing a given unitary operator into a quantum circuit, which we call the variational circuit realization (VCR): given any parameterized circuit block (as for example, used in QCL), it finds optimal parameters and the number of layers of the circuit block required to approximate any target unitary operator with a given precision.

The Abrams-Lloyd quantum algorithm computes an eigenvalue and the corresponding eigenstate of a unitary matrix from an approximate eigenvector Va. The eigenstate is a basis vector in the orthonormal eigenspace. Finding another eigenvalue, using a random approximate eigenvector, may require many trials as the trial may repeatedly result in the eigenvalue measured earlier. We present a method involving orthogonalization of the eigenstate obtained in a trial. It is used as the Va for the next trial. Because of the orthogonal construction, Abrams-Lloyd algorithm will not repeat the eigenvalue measured earlier. Thus, all the eigenvalues are obtained in sequence without repetitions. An operator that anticommutes with a unitary operator orthogonalizes the eigenvectors of the unitary. We implemented the method on the programming language model of quantum computation and tested it on a unitary matrix representing the time evolution operator of a small spin chain. All the eigenvalues of the operator were obtained sequentially. Another use of the first eigenvector from Abrams-Lloyd algorithm is preparing a state that is the uniform superposition of all the eigenvectors. This is possible by nonorthogonalizing the first eigenvector in all dimensions and then applying the Abrams-Lloyd algorithm steps stopping short of the last measurement.

The syndrome of congenital absence of the spleen with atrioventricularis communis and partial transposition of the abdominal viscera is briefly discussed. Because of absence of the spleen, these patients have been found to exhibit specific abnormalities of peripheral blood, namely, normoblastemia and Howell-Jolly bodies and Heinz bodies in the erythrocytes. A case is presented illustrating the method of making a diagnosis based upon the hematologic findings.

Recently it was proved that many results that are true for density matrices which are positive under partial transposition (or simply PPT), also hold for another class of matrices with a certain symmetry in their Hermitian Schmidt decompositions. These matrices were called symmetric with positive coefficients (or simply SPC). A natural question appeared: What is the connection between SPC matrices and PPT matrices? Is every SPC matrix PPT? Here we show that every SPC matrix is PPT in $M_2\otimes M_2$. This theorem is a consequence of the fact that every density matrix in $M_2\otimes M_m$, with tensor rank smaller or equal to 3, is separable. Although, in $M_3\otimes M_3$, we present an example of SPC matrix with tensor rank 3 that is not PPT. We shall also provide a non trivial example of a family of matrices in $M_k\otimes M_k$, in which both, the SPC and PPT properties, are equivalent. Within this family, there exists a non trivial subfamily in which the SPC property is equivalent to separability.
