Theoretish-Physikalishes Seminar QuantenComputer WS 2007/2008 Prof. Dr. Heiko Rieger mit Dr. Yu-Cheng Lin Elementare Quantenalgorithmen Manuel Noll In order to explain quantum omputation, it is the easiest to investigate it via its realisation as algorithms. There the enormous power of these mahines omes apparent. Therefore we have to take a loser look at omputational omplexity theory and its notion, the Landau notation. With this in bakhand we are able to analyse the great advantages that quantum mahines have over lassial omputer devies. Sine quantum mahines are probabilisti in their inner nature, quantum algorithms have to be so too. Therefore these algorithms have resemblane to randomized algorithms whih we will disuss briey. But sine randomized algorithms are just a sublass of lassial omplexity lasses we onsider quantum omplexity lasses and lassial omplexity lasses in the following. Thus quantum mahines dier by their nature from lassial ones, it is neessary to explore the realisation of bits, registers and gates on this new kind of mahines. In this ontext we lear the import role of unitary matries and their meaning in quantum algorithmi design. Having now all tools together we start to address the quantum algorithms, beginning with an easy example, the Deutsh's problem, giving us a shortly introdution in to the usage of the introdued notations. Being familiar with the elementary realisation of an quantum algorithm we are able to deepen our understand of quantum algorithms by Simon's problem of determining whether a funtion is periodi or bijetive. At the end we will fous on Grover's searh algorithm, performing searhes on databases. That algorithm is indeed better than its lassial equivalents, though not exponentially better. We lose this disussion with an outline of quantum networks as an possible way to implement quantum algorithm and quantum omputers respetively. Mi, 30.Jan.2008, 16-18 Uhr E2.6 Seminarraum 4.18
