Quantum Information Processing

It's common knowlegde that any traditional logic function can be realized using quantum logic gates (gates that are reversible). I've been looking for a good book on the subject of Quantum Information Processing but I haven't found one that I am willing to shell out the money for at this point in time.

I was thinking that it would be a good starting point for most of us, if we could generate a few theoretical quantum circuits in this thread. Does anyone here know how to implement an eight bit adder using quantum logic gates?

Thanks.

Hello eNtRopY,

Thank you for bringing up the topic of Quantum Information Processing. It is indeed true that any traditional logic function can be realized using quantum logic gates, which are reversible and allow for more efficient and powerful computation.

I understand your struggle in finding a good book on the subject, as it is a relatively new and complex field. However, I would suggest looking into online resources or open access journals for more affordable options.

As for implementing an eight bit adder using quantum logic gates, I am not an expert in this field but I believe it can be achieved by using the principles of quantum superposition and entanglement. Each qubit in the circuit would represent a binary digit and the addition operation would be performed by applying the appropriate quantum logic gates, such as the CNOT gate. I would recommend looking into research papers or tutorials on quantum circuit design for more detailed instructions.

I hope this helps and I wish you luck in your exploration of Quantum Information Processing!

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
