Quantum Random Walks without a Coin Toss
Apoorva Patel, K. S. Raghunathan, Pranaw Rungta
We construct a quantum random walk algorithm, based on the Dirac operator instead of the Laplacian. The algorithm explores multiple evolutionary branches by superposition of states…
A new algorithm for fixed point quantum search
Tathagat Tulsi, Lov Grover, Apoorva Patel
The standard quantum search lacks a feature, enjoyed by many classical algorithms, of having a fixed point, i.e. monotonic convergence towards the solution. Recently a fixed point…
The Future of Computation
Apoorva Patel
``The purpose of life is to obtain knowledge, use it to live with as much satisfaction as possible, and pass it on with improvements and modifications to the next generation.'' Thi…
Information Processing beyond Quantum Computation
Apoorva Patel
Recent developments in quantum computation have made it clear that there is a lot more to computation than the conventional Boolean algebra. Is quantum computation the most general…
Survival of the Fittest and Zero Sum Games
Apoorva Patel
Competition for available resources is natural amongst coexisting species, and the fittest contenders dominate over the rest in evolution. The dynamics of this selection is studied…
Mathematical Physics and Life
Apoorva Patel
It is a fascinating subject to explore how well we can understand the processes of life on the basis of fundamental laws of physics. It is emphasised that viewing biological proces…
