A note concerning the modular valued von Neumann interaction operator

Abstract

The modular valued operator ${\hat{V}}_m$ of the von Neumann interaction operator for a projector is defined. The properties of ${\hat{V}}_m$ are discussed and contrasted with those of the standard modular value of a projector. The associated notion of a faux qubit is introduced and its possible utility in quantum computation is noted. An experimental implementation of ${\hat{V}}_m$ is also highlighted.
