Quantum Fourier Transform
... We have seen that the quantum Fourier transform is a unitary operator. Therefore, by our earlier results, there is a quantum circuit which implements it. However, there is no guarantee that this circuit will be efficient! A general unitary requires a circuit with a number of gates exponential in the ...

In this note we shall prove a general central limit theorem for sums of quantum (tensor) independent identically random variables which can be seen as an analytic extension of the algebraic CLT of Giri and von Waldenfels [GW]. Our main tool ...

Fermionic Vortices Find their Dual - Physics (APS)

A dual description of a system with fermionic vortices thus requires a new ingredient, since it must include such a fermio ...

Nordita, Blegdamsvej 17, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark (February 1, 2008) The low energy quantal spectrum is considered as a function of the total angular momentum for a system of weakly interacting bosonic atoms held together by an external isotropic harmonic potential. It is found that besides the ...
