High-Fidelity Polarization Storage in a Gigahertz Bandwidth
... Photons are well-established as carriers of quantum information and their transmission through high-bandwidth fibers or free-space opens the possibility of a global quantum network [1, 2]. To compensate for the effects of photon loss in a fiber network and the inherently probabilistic nature of quan ...

Lower Bounds for Quantum Search and Derandomization
... If we do not observe a state, quantum mechanics tells us that it will evolve unitarily. This means that the vector of amplitudes is transformed according to a linear operator that preserves norm (so the sum of the amplitudes squared remains 1). A unitary operator U always has an inverse U −1 , whic ...
