... The above expression is called the normalization condition, and must be satisfied by any complete set of probabilities. This condition is equivalent to the self-evident statement that an observation of a system must definitely result in one of its possible outcomes. There is another way in which we ...

Quantum Heat Engines and Refrigerators: Continuous Devices
... of hypothetical quantum heat engines and refrigerators to address these issues. Once understood, these models serve as a template for real devices. Gedanken heat engines are an integral part of thermodynamical theory. In 1824, Carnot (1) set the stage by analyzing an ideal engine. His analysis prece ...

... as a single quantum gate per move; in a naive movement model, this quintuples the actual compute cost because of repeatedly moving qubits between SIMD regions and the global memory. In many cases our compiler can schedule QT operations in parallel with the computation steps. It should be noted that ...

Kitaev - Anyons
... Appendix E, Algebraic theory of anyons, is an elementary introduction into unitary modular categories, which generalizes the discussion in Section 10. Appendix C, Quasidiagonal matrices, is also mostly expository but some of the arguments may be new. It begins with a simplified treatment of ‘‘operato ...

Quantum Mechanics as Quantum Information (and only a little more)
... information theoretic justification if we can. Only when we are finished picking off all the terms (or combinations of terms) that can be interpreted as subjective information will we be in a position to make real progress in quantum foundations. The raw distillate left behind—miniscule though it may b ...
