Such devices can efficiently perform classes of computation (e.g. factorisation) which are believed to be intractable on any classical computer. This makes it highly desirable to construct such devices. In this paper, we address the last remaining theoretical obstacle to such a construction, namely the problem of stability or error correction. This problem is more substantial in quantum computation than in classical computation because of the delicate nature of the interference phenomena on which quantum computation depends. We present a new, purely quantum mechanical method of error correction, which has no classical analogue, but can serve to stabilise coherent quantum computations. Like the classical methods, it utilises redundancy, but it does not depend on measuring intermediate results of the computation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.

Unknowingly, many software abstractions violate locality constraints because they represent high dimensional topologies that have higher degrees of freedom than is uniformly implementable by the underlying physical architecture. This semantic gap between abstractions implemented in the virtual architecture and the physical machine resources results in poor performance for certain classes of computing problems. The paper discusses and analyzes the impact of locality constraints and dimensionality limits upon software and architecture trends with the specific goals of improved performance, lower cost, and the longevity of architectural investments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.

The entropy of the demon increases due to the decoupling of the molecule from the measurement information. In general, neither measurement nor erasure is fundamentally a thermodynamically costly operation; however, the decorrelation of the system from the information must always increase entropy in the system-with-information. This causes a net entropy increase in the universe unless, as in the Szilard demon, the information is used to decrease entropy elsewhere before the correlation is lost. Thus information is thermodynamically costly precisely to the extent that it is not used to obtain work from the measured system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.

We analyze the common situation where successive measurements on the same photon could be used to cheat in the protocol. We model this situation by using a single inner-product-preserving (IPP) operator, followed by a complete composite-outcome Von Neumann measurement. A lower bound on the residual collision entropy is then obtained under the assumption that only individual measurements can be performed. This bound is used to apply privacy amplification techniques in order to conclude the security of the BBCS-protocol.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.

Hence the only scaling topologies for future massively parallel computers are high diameter regular ones, like mesh networks. The techniques used are symmetry properties in terms of orbits of automorphism groups of graphs, and a modern notion of randomness of individual objects, Kolmogorov complexity.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.

Shor (1994) has shown that quantum computers (computers which can operate simultaneously on a quantum superposition of inputs) permit efficient (i.e. polynomial-time) solutions of problems for which no efficient classical-mechanical solution is known. This has led to renewed interest in the question of whether or not quantum computers can be physically realized. One kind of quantum computer, quantum cellular automata, can be described by relatively simple Hamiltonians that resemble the Hamiltonians of spin systems. In this paper, we report a quantum cellular automaton which, though not itself computation-universal, forms an essential part of any quantum cellular automaton which is synchronized using Feynman's technique. This quantum cellular automaton has as its Hamiltonian the one-dimensional XY Hamiltonian, which is exactly solvable. Furthermore, there is experimental evidence from low-temperature measurements of the heat capacity and electric susceptibility that the Hamiltonian of the quantum cellular automaton is realized in nature by the rare-earth compound praseodymium ethyl sulfate near 1 K.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":378733,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Workshop on Physics and Computation.
