Can the Markov chain be used in qubit manipulation?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the applicability of Markov chains in qubit manipulation. Participants concluded that Markov chains, being classical probabilistic models, do not effectively apply to quantum states, as they rely solely on the current state without considering historical data. This limitation makes them unsuitable for generating qubits from initial states in quantum computing contexts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum computing principles
  • Familiarity with qubit representation and manipulation
  • Knowledge of classical Markov chains and their properties
  • Basic grasp of probabilistic models in computational theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research quantum state evolution and its mathematical foundations
  • Explore quantum algorithms that utilize qubit manipulation
  • Learn about the differences between classical and quantum probabilistic models
  • Investigate the role of historical data in quantum state transitions
USEFUL FOR

Quantum computing researchers, theoretical physicists, and computer scientists interested in the intersection of classical and quantum models.

Doubtful. Markov chains are classical.

Thanks

Doesn't it just imply that the future state depends only on the current one and not past ones?
