Optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm for multi-solution search

This study investigates the multi-solution search of the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm on the hypercube. Through generalizing the abstract search algorithm which is a general tool for analyzing the search on the graph to the multi-solution case, it can be applied to analyze the multi-solution case of quantum random-walk search on the graph directly. Thus, the computational complexity of the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm for the multi-solution search is obtained. Through numerical simulations and analysis, we obtain a critical value of the proportion of solutions q. For a given q, we derive the relationship between the success rate of the algorithm and the number of iterations when q is no longer than the critical value.

Effects of systematic phase errors on optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm

This study investigates the effects of systematic errors in phase inversions on the success rate and number of iterations in the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm. Using the geometric description of this algorithm, a model of the algorithm with phase errors is established, and the relationship between the success rate of the algorithm, the database size, the number of iterations, and the phase error is determined. For a given database size, we obtain both the maximum success rate of the algorithm and the required number of iterations when phase errors are present in the algorithm. Analyses and numerical simulations show that the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm is more robust against phase errors than Grover＇s algorithm.

Transitionless driving on local adiabatic quantum search algorithm

We apply the transitionless driving on the local adiabatic quantum search algorithm to speed up the adiabatic process. By studying quantum dynamics of the adiabatic search algorithm with the equivalent two-level system, we derive the transi- tionless driving Hamiltonian for the local adiabatic quantum search algorithm. We found that when adding a transitionless quantum driving term Ht~ （t） on the local adiabatic quantum search algorithm, the success rate is 1 exactly with arbitrary evolution time by solving the time-dependent Schr6dinger equation in eigen-picture. Moreover, we show the reason for the drastic decrease of the evolution time is that the driving Hamiltonian increases the lowest eigenvalues to a maximum of

Decoherence in optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm

This paper investigates the effects of decoherence generated by broken-link-type noise in the hypercube on an optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm. When the hypercube occurs with random broken links, the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm with decoherence is depicted through defining the shift operator which includes the possibility of broken links. For a given database size, we obtain the maximum success rate of the algorithm and the required number of iterations through numerical simulations and analysis when the algorithm is in the presence of decoherence. Then the computational complexity of the algorithm with decoherence is obtained. The results show that the ultimate effect of broken-link-type decoherence on the optimized quantum random-walk search algorithm is negative.

A general quantum minimum searching algorithm with high success rate and its implementation

Finding a minimum is a fundamental calculation in many quantum algorithms.However,challenges are faced in demonstrating it effectively in real quantum computers.In practice,the number of solutions is unknown,and there is no universal encoding method.Besides that,current quantum computers have limited resources.To alleviate these problems,this paper proposes a general quantum minimum searching algorithm.An adaptive estimation method is adopted to calculate the number of solutions,and a quantum encoding circuit for arbitrary databases is presented for the first time,which improves the universality of the algorithm and helps it achieve a nearly 100%success rate in a series of random databases.Moreover,gate complexity is reduced by our simplified Oracle,and the realizability of the algorithm is verified on a superconducting quantum computer.Our algorithm can serve as a subroutine for various quantum algorithms to promote their implementation in the Noisy IntermediateScale Quantum era.

Implementation of quantum search scheme by adiabatic passage in a cavity-laser-atom system

This paper proposes a scheme for implementing the adiabatic quantum search algorithm of different marked items in an unsorted list of N items with atoms in a cavity driven by lasers. N identical three-level atoms are trapped in a single-mode cavity. Each atom is driven by a set of three pulsed laser fields. In each atom, the same level represents a database entry. Two of the atoms are marked differently. The marked atom has an energy gap between its two ground states. The two different marked states can be sought out respectively starting from an initial entangled state by controlling the ratio of three pulse amplitudes. Moreover, the mechanism, based on adiabatic passage, constitutes a decoherence-free method in the sense that spontaneous emission and cavity damping are avoided since the dynamics follows the dark state. Furthermore, this paper extends the algorithm with m（m〉2） atoms marked in an ideal situation. Any different marked state can be sought out.

Fast quantum search driven by environmental engineering

Studies have demonstrated that a joined complete graph is a typical mathematical model that can support a fast quantum search. In this paper, we study the implementation of joined complete graphs in atomic systems and realize a quantum search of runtime ■ based on this implementation with a success probability of 50%. Even though the practical systems inevitably interact with the surrounding environment, we reveal that a successful quantum search can be realized through delicately engineering the environment itself. We consider that our study will bring about a feasible way to realize quantum information processing including quantum algorithms in reality.
