Adaptive quantum phase estimation can be better than non-adaptive

Noah Linden, Ronald de Wolf

Quantum phase estimation is one of the most important tools in quantum algorithms. It can be made non-adaptive (meaning all applications of the unitary happen simultaneously)…

Lightweight Detection of a Small Number of Large Errors in a Quantum Circuit

Noah Linden, Ronald de Wolf

Suppose we want to implement a unitary , for instance a circuit for some quantum algorithm. Suppose our actual implementation is a unitary , which we can only apply a…

Optimal Entanglement Generation from Quantum Operations

M. S. Leifer, L. Henderson, N. Linden

We consider how much entanglement can be produced by a non-local two-qubit unitary operation, - the entangling capacity of . For a single application of ,…

Continuous Time and Consistent Histories

C. J. Isham, N. Linden, K. Savvidou +1

We discuss the use of histories labelled by a continuous time in the approach to consistent-histories quantum theory in which propositions about the history of the system are repre…

Information-entropy and the space of decoherence functions in generalised quantum theory

C. J. Isham, N. Linden

In standard quantum theory, the ideas of information-entropy and of pure states are closely linked. States are represented by density matrices on a Hilbert space and the inform…

Continuous Histories and the History Group in Generalised Quantum Theory

CJ Isham, N Linden

We treat continuous histories within the histories approach to generalised quantum mechanics. The essential tool is the `history group': the analogue, within the generalised histor…

The Classification of Decoherence Functionals: An Analogue of Gleason's Theorem

Chris Isham, Noah Linden, Stefan Schreckenberg

Gell-Mann and Hartle have proposed a significant generalisation of quantum theory with a scheme whose basic ingredients are `histories' and decoherence functionals. Within this sch…
