Faster algorithm for achieving minimal-size quantum decision diagrams
Juul Sanders, Sebastiaan Brand, Arend-Jan Quist +1
The decision diagram (DD) data structure enables fast linear-algebra calculations by bringing vectors into a normal form and subsequently merging equivalent ones, yielding a minima…
Numerical Errors in Quantitative System Analysis With Decision Diagrams
Sebastiaan Brand, Arend-Jan Quist, Richard M. K. van Dijk +1
Decision diagrams (DDs) are a powerful data structure that is used to tackle the state-space explosion problem, not only for discrete systems, but for probabilistic and quantum sys…
Q-Sylvan: A Parallel Decision Diagram Package for Quantum Computing
Sebastiaan Brand, Alfons Laarman
As physical realizations of quantum computers move closer towards practical applications, the need for tools to analyze and verify quantum algorithms grows. Among the algorithms an…
Efficient computation of the waiting time and fidelity in quantum repeater chains
Sebastiaan Brand, Tim Coopmans, David Elkouss
Quantum communication enables a host of applications that cannot be achieved by classical communication means, with provably secure communication as one of the prime examples. The…
