The race is on to construct the first quantum code breaker, as the winner will hold the key to the entire Internet. From international, multibillion-dollar financial transactions to top-secret government communications, all would be vulnerable to the secret-code-breaking ability of the quantum computer. Written by a renowned quantum physicist closely involved in the U.S. government s development of quantum information science, Schrodinger s Killer App: Race to Build the World s First Quantum Computer presents an inside look at the government s quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The "killer application" refers to Shor s quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm. Schrodinger s notion of quantum entanglement and his infamous cat is at the heart of it all. The book develops the concept of entanglement in the historical context of Einstein s 30-year battle with the physics community over the true meaning of quantum theory. It discusses the remedy to the threat posed by the quantum code breaker: quantum cryptography, which is unbreakable even by the quantum computer. The author also covers applications to other important areas, such as quantum physics simulators, synchronized clocks, quantum search engines, quantum sensors, and imaging devices. In addition, he takes readers on a philosophical journey that considers the future ramifications of quantum technologies. Interspersed with amusing and personal anecdotes, this book presents quantum computing and the closely connected foundations of quantum mechanics in an engaging manner accessible to non-specialists. Requiring no formal training in physics or advanced mathematics, it explains difficult topics, including quantum entanglement, Schrodinger s cat, Bell s inequality, and quantum computational complexity, using simple analogies."… (mehr)

Glimrende beskrivelse af hvordan Einstein ikke kunne forlige sig med det modsatte af locality, reality og certainty. Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen forsøgte med et hidden-variable angreb, men i stedet kunne Alain Aspect vise med et forsøg at Bell's ulighed afgjorde sagen til fordel for kvanteteoriens mærkelige konsekvenser. John Clauser og flere andre havde allerede gjort forsøg, der tydede stærkt på det samme. Feynman pegede på at man kunne simulere kvantesystemer med en kvantecomputer og at der måske ventede eksponentielle hastighedsforøgelser. I 1994 kom Peter Shor med en metode til at bruge en kvantecomputer til at lave en invers Fourier Transformation og finde perioder med, som kan bruges til at finde primfaktorer i tal. Andre algoritmer som David Deutch's orakel og Lov Grover's søgealgoritme dukker op. Man kan ikke klone en Qubit, men man kan godt teleportere den. Det spændende er om man kan lave nok entanglede Qubits i lang nok tid til at løse spændende størrelse problemer. D-Wave laver noget, der ikke er en generel kvantecomputer, men måske alligevel gør noget nyttigt. Til gengæld døde NMR som en nyttig beregningsmåde igen. Man skal bruge tre kvantegates for at lave en universel kvantecomputer, ENT, RAT og CAT. Carlton Caves foreslår at bruge entanglede partikler til at forbedre målenøjagtighed. LIGO og den slags. Quantum lithography.
Sjovt nok er forfatterens killer-app ikke Shor's algoritme men Richard Feynman's universelle quantum simulator. William Phillips har en joke med at sige at chancen for at lave en kvantecomputer er fifty-fifty, med hvilket han mener at der er en halvtreds procents chance for at få bygget den indenfor de næste halvtreds år. DiVincenzo har stillet fem kriterier op. 1. skalerbart fysisk system med veldefinerede qubits. 2. skal kunne initialiseres nemt til veldefineret grundtilstand. 3. qubits skal have meget længere dekoherens tider end gate-speed tider. 4. have et universelt sæt af kvantegates. 5. tillade qubit-specifik aflæsning af en bestemt qubit. De er senere blevet revideret lidt.
1. The physical system has well-characterized qubits and is scalable.
2. The physical system must be able to have the state of the qubits initialized to a known low-entropy state, such as |000... )
3. The decoherence times of the physical system implementing the qubit must be much longer than the quantum gate operation time.
4. A physical system as the embodiment of a quantum computer must have available a "universal" set of quantum logic gates.
5. The physical system must have a qubit-specific measurement capability.
6. The system must have the ability to interconvert stationary and flying qubits.
7. The flying qubits must be transmitted between specified locations without affecting their state.

Umiddelbart er mit indtryk at teknikkerne bag kaster stribevis af nyttige resultater af sig, men jeg er stadig i tvivl om man vil kunne bygge en kvantecomputer med et nyttigt antal qubits set fra en datalogs synsvinkel. På den anden side er det vildt skægt at se at algoritmerne stille hober sig op i håb om at kvantecomputeren dukker op i horisonten.

Bogen har en masse gode observationer om forskningsfinanciering og kortsigtede kontra langsigtede hensyn. Klart at anbefale.

Der er en glimrende video af Peter Shor der selv fortæller. Til at begynde med så det ud til at man ikke kunne lave fejlkorrektion på en kvantecomputer (no-cloning theorem). Det var Landauer, der havde set det. Men man kan kode som |0) som |000) og mere smarte varianter end det. Shor fandt på en 9-qubit kode som korrigerer alle 1-bit fejl. Peter Shor's 9-qubit-code, a.k.a. the Shor code, encoder 1 logisk qubit i 9 fysiske qubits og kan rette vilkårlige 1-qubit fejl.
Video - 24:30
Andrew Steane fandt en 7-qubit kode, der kunne generaliseres, så nu har vi CSS-koder opkaldt efter A. R. Calderbank, Peter Shor og Andrew Steane.
Og symmetrigruppen for koden blev fundet via et programmeringssprog Magma.
Video - 29:30 og den har størrelsen 5160960 og Neil Sloane havde kig på samme gruppe i forbindelse med optimale pakninger i Grassman rum, så det har noget at gøre med quantum error correcting codes.
Der er også noget om Feynman og negative sandsynligheder. Video - 1:00.

Tilstandene beskrives med bra-ket notation. Og da større-end og mindre-end er besværlige i html, skriver jeg (00| og |00) her i stedet for at bruge de "rigtige" paranteser. ( )
