We implement the Landau-Streater and Werner-Holevo quantum channels for qutrits on IBM quantum computers. These quantum channels correspond to a specific interaction between a qutrit with its environment, which results in the globally unitarily covariant qutrit transformation violating the multiplicativity of the maximal p-norm. Our realization of such channels is based on embedding qutrit states into states of two qubits and using single-qubit and two-qubit CNOT gates to implement the specific interaction. We exploit the standard quantum gates only, so the developed algorithm can be executed on any quantum computer. We run our algorithm on a 5-qubit and a 20-qubit computer as well as on a simulator. We quantify the quality of the implemented channels by comparing their action on different input states with theoretical predictions. The overall efficiency is quantified via the fidelity between the theoretical and experimental Choi states, with the latter being physically implemented on the 20-qubit computer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
