An alternate quantum adiabatic evolution for the Deutsch–Jozsa problem

Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm has been implemented via quantum adiabatic evolutions by Das et al. (Phys Rev A 65:062310, 2002) and Wei et al. (Phys Lett A 354:271, 2006). In the latter literature, the authors have shown a modified version of the adiabatic evolution which can improve the performance of the algorithm of S. Das et al’s to constant time. In this paper, we also improve the algorithm of S. Das et al’s in a constant time but by using a different construction of adiabatic evolution, i.e., adding ancillary qubits. The algorithm in this paper provides an alternative option to potential users.     

Optimality of partial adiabatic search and its circuit model

In this paper, we first uncover a fact that a partial adiabatic quantum search with \(O(\sqrt{N/M})\) time complexity is in fact optimal, in which \(N\) is the total number of elements in an unstructured database, and \(M\) ( \(M\ge 1\) ) of them are the marked ones(one) \((N\gg M)\) . We then discuss how to implement a partial adiabatic search algorithm on the quantum circuit model. From the implementing procedure on the circuit model, we can find out that the approximating steps needed are always in the same order of the time complexity of the adiabatic algorithm.     

An efficient quantum search engine on unsorted database

We consider the problem of finding one or more desired items out of an unsorted database. Patel has shown that if the database permits quantum queries, then mere digitization is sufficient for efficient search for one desired item. The algorithm, called factorized quantum search algorithm, presented by him can locate the desired item in an unsorted database using O( $log_4N$ ) queries to factorized oracles. But the algorithm requires that all the attribute values must be distinct from each other. In this paper, we discuss how to make a database satisfy the requirements, and present a quantum search engine based on the algorithm. Our goal is achieved by introducing auxiliary files for the attribute values that are not distinct, and converting every complex query request into a sequence of calls to factorized quantum search algorithm. The query complexity of our algorithm is O( $log_4N$ ) for most cases.

化学气相沉积法制备氮化硼纳米管的研究进展:反应装置、气源材料、催化剂

氮化硼纳米管(BNNTs)具有优良的耐高温、抗氧化、防辐射、绝缘和导热性能,因此,在航空航天、辐射屏蔽、热界面材料以及深紫外发射等领域具有潜在的应用前景。然而,高品质BNNTs的可控制备和批量生产仍然是学术和工业界的重大挑战。在BNNTs的众多制备方法中,化学气相沉积法(CVD)是最有潜力实现其可控制备的方法之一。但是,科学家们对于CVD法制备BNNTs的催化机理和影响因素尚未形成共识。鉴于此,文章从反应装置、氮源、硼源和催化剂4个方面对CVD法制备BNNTs进行了综述,并系统总结了相应的规律。在此基础上,分析了目前BNNTs可控制备中存在的问题,并对CVD法在BNNTs可控制备中的作用进行了展望,以期对今后BNNTs的制备起到借鉴作用。     

Is the addition of an assisted driving Hamiltonian always useful for adiabatic evolution?

It has been known that when an assisted driving item is added to the main system Hamiltonian, the efficiency of the resultant adiabatic evolution can be significantly improved. In some special cases, it can be seen that only through adding an assisted driving Hamiltonian can the resulting adiabatic evolution be made not to fail. Thus the additional driving Hamiltonian plays an important role in adiabatic computing. In this paper, we show that if the driving Hamiltonian is chosen inappropriately, the adiabatic computation may still fail. More importantly, we find that the adiabatic computation can only succeed if the assisted driving Hamiltonian has a relatively fixed form. This may help us understand why in the related literature all of the driving Hamiltonians used share the same form.
