Non-Markovian Beables vs. Massive Parallelism
Eric Dennis
A simple dynamical model over a discrete classical state space is presented. In a certain limit, it reduces to one in a class of models subsuming Bell's field-theoretic version of…
Purifying Quantum States: Quantum and Classical Algorithms
Eric Dennis
I give analytical estimates and numerical simulation results for the performance of Kitaev's 2d topological error-correcting codes. By providing methods for the execution of an enc…
Quantum Theory: Interpretation Cannot be Avoided
Eric Dennis, Travis Norsen
This essay is a response to the (March 2000) Physics Today Opinion article "Quantum Theory Needs No Interpretation" by Fuchs and Peres. It was written several years ago and has bee…
Beable trajectories for revealing quantum control mechanisms
Eric Dennis, Herschel Rabitz
The dynamics induced while controlling quantum systems by optimally shaped laser pulses have often been difficult to understand in detail. A method is presented for quantifying the…
Topological quantum memory
Eric Dennis, Alexei Kitaev, Andrew Landahl +1
We analyze surface codes, the topological quantum error-correcting codes introduced by Kitaev. In these codes, qubits are arranged in a two-dimensional array on a surface of nontri…
Quantum codes on high-genus surfaces
Eric Dennis
An economy of scale is found when storing many qubits in one highly entangled block of a topological quantum code. The code is defined by construction of a topologically convoluted…
