Quantum computational geodesics

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to mathematically investigate characteristics of a geodesic equation describing locally minimum complexity paths in the special unitary group manifold representing the unitary evolution of n qubits associated with a quantum computation. The geodesic equation is a nonlinear differential matrix equation of the Lax type. A simple local initial-value solution is elaborated for the case of three qubits.

“…In addition to this, there was no contribution of I ⊗ I ⊗ I component in any linear combination due to traceless properties of the generator of SU (8). The results are especially important, as it shown that we could represent the Lie algebra su(8) one-to-one in Pauli coordinates resembling change of coordinates which greatly reduced the amount of terms used for representation [12,5,4].…”

“…This is particularly useful in representing the evolution of the quantum states, U = e −iHt using Riemannian geometry tools. This is done by representing the Hamiltonian, H of the evolution of the quantum states in terms of Pauli coordinates where U is an element of SU (8) Lie group, and H is also the respective element for su (8) Lie algebra [4,5,12].…”

“…One of us, Long, came to know Dr. Brandt first through his important works in quantum information [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9] and later his role as editor-in-chief of the journal Quantum Information Processing(QIP). Long proposed a new type of quantum computer in 2002 [10], which employed the wave-particle duality principle to quantum information processing.…”
