Electric circuits for universal quantum gates and quantum Fourier transformation

arXiv:1911.02250 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.023278

Abstract

Universal quantum computation may be realized based on quantum walk, by formulating it as a scattering problem on a graph. In this paper, we simulate quantum gates through electric circuits, following a recent report that a one-dimensional electric circuit can simulate a Schrödinger equation and hence a quantum walk. Especially, we propose a physical realization of a set of universal quantum gates consisting of the CNOT, Hadamard and phase-shift gates with the use of telegrapher wires and mixing bridges. Furthermore, we construct the phase-shift gate for an arbitrary integer , which is an essential element to perform the quantum Fourier transformation and prime factorization based on the Shor algorithm. Our results will open a way to universal quantum computation based on electric circuits.
