Quantum Computing problem [Quantum Teleportation] (Nelson and Chuang)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a mathematical problem related to quantum teleportation as described in Nelson and Chuang's book on Quantum Computation. Participants are trying to understand the transformation of a specific quantum state expression into another form, which involves mathematical manipulation of quantum states.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • The initial expression for the quantum state is presented, and the participant seeks assistance in transforming it into a different expression.
  • One participant suggests that the transformation can be achieved by applying a single qubit Hadamard transformation followed by a two-qubit CNOT transformation.
  • References to additional literature are provided for further reading on the topic, including works by Mikio Nakahara and a paper by Bennett et al. on quantum teleportation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is no explicit consensus on the transformation process, but one participant agrees with the approach suggested by another. The discussion remains focused on the mathematical manipulation without a definitive resolution.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not clarify specific assumptions or steps involved in the transformation, leaving some aspects of the mathematical reasoning unresolved.

Hello

I am reading Nelson and Chuang's book on Quantum Computation. On pages 26-7 they describe quantum teleportation. I am facing essentially a math problem in going from the expression

[tex]\left|\psi_{2}\right> = \frac{1}{2}\left[\alpha(\left|0\right> + \left|1\right>)(\left|00\right> + \left|11\right>) + \beta(\left|0\right> - \left|1\right>)(\left|10\right> + \left|01\right>)\right][/tex]

to the expression

[tex]\left|\psi_{2}\right> = \frac{1}{2}\left[\left|00\right>(\alpha\left|0\right> + \beta\left|1\right>) + \left|01\right>(\alpha\left|1\right> + \beta\left|0\right>) + \left|10\right>(\alpha\left|0\right> - \beta\left|1\right>) + \left|11\right>(\alpha\left|1\right> - \beta\left|0\right>)\right\][/tex]

Would appreciate any help/suggestions to try to tackle this.

Thanks.

PS--It seems to be a regrouping of terms..I guess, but I still can't get it directly :P

hi
this relation is obtained by applying first single qubit Hadamard transformation on Alice's qubit and next two qubit CNOT transformation. you can refer to quantum computing by Mikio Nakahara, chapter 4,page 80, or C. H. Bennett, G. Brassard, C. Crépeau, R. Jozsa, A. Peres, W. K. Wootters, Teleporting an Unknown Quantum State via Dual Classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Channels, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1895-1899 (1993)

Wow, been a long time..3 years. Thanks :-)
