Grover Algorithm with zero theoretical failure rate
In standard Grover's algorithm for quantum searching, the probability of
finding the marked item is not exactly 1. In this Letter we present a modified
version of Grover's algorithm that searches a marked state with full successful
rate. The modification is done by replacing the phase inversion by two phase
rotation through angle . The rotation angle is given analytically to be
, where
, the number of items in the database, and
an integer equal to or greater than the integer part of . Upon measurement at -th iteration, the marked state
is obtained with certainty.Comment: 5 pages. Accepted for publication in Physical Review
Grover's Quantum Search Algorithm for an Arbitrary Initial Mixed State
The Grover quantum search algorithm is generalized to deal with an arbitrary
mixed initial state. The probability to measure a marked state as a function of
time is calculated, and found to depend strongly on the specific initial state.
The form of the function, though, remains as it is in the case of initial pure
state. We study the role of the von Neumann entropy of the initial state, and
show that the entropy cannot be a measure for the usefulness of the algorithm.
We give few examples and show that for some extremely mixed initial states
carrying high entropy, the generalized Grover algorithm is considerably faster
than any classical algorithm.Comment: 4 pages. See http://www.cs.technion.ac.il/~danken/MSc-thesis.pdf for

A General SU(2) Formulation for Quantum Searching with Certainty
A general quantum search algorithm with arbitrary unitary transformations and
an arbitrary initial state is considered in this work. To serach a marked state
with certainty, we have derived, using an SU(2) representation: (1) the
matching condition relating the phase rotations in the algorithm, (2) a concise
formula for evaluating the required number of iterations for the search, and
(3) the final state after the search, with a phase angle in its amplitude of
unity modulus. Moreover, the optimal choices and modifications of the phase
angles in the Grover kernel is also studied.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
Necessary Condition for the Quantum Adiabatic Approximation
A gapped quantum system that is adiabatically perturbed remains approximately
in its eigenstate after the evolution. We prove that, for constant gap, general
quantum processes that approximately prepare the final eigenstate require a
minimum time proportional to the ratio of the length of the eigenstate path to
the gap. Thus, no rigorous adiabatic condition can yield a smaller cost. We
also give a necessary condition for the adiabatic approximation that depends on
local properties of the path, which is appropriate when the gap varies.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur

Fetching marked items from an unsorted database in NMR ensemble computing
Searching a marked item or several marked items from an unsorted database is
a very difficult mathematical problem. Using classical computer, it requires
steps to find the target. Using a quantum computer, Grover's
algorithm uses steps. In NMR ensemble computing,
Brushweiler's algorithm uses steps. In this Letter, we propose an
algorithm that fetches marked items in an unsorted database directly. It
requires only a single query. It can find a single marked item or multiple
number of items.Comment: 4 pages and 1 figur
Neutralisation of uPA with a Monoclonal Antibody Reduces Plasmin Formation and Delays Skin Wound Healing in tPA-Deficient Mice
Background: Proteolytic degradation by plasmin and metalloproteinases is essential for epidermal regeneration in skin wound healing. Plasminogen deficient mice have severely delayed wound closure as have mice simultaneously lacking the two plasminogen activators, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA). In contrast, individual genetic deficiencies in either uPA or tPA lead to wound healing kinetics with no or only slightly delayed closure of skin wounds. Methodology/Principal Findings: To evaluate the therapeutic potential in vivo of a murine neutralizing antibody directed against mouse uPA we investigated the efficacy in skin wound healing of tPA-deficient mice. Systemic administration of the anti-mouse uPA monoclonal antibody, mU1, to tPA-deficient mice caused a dose-dependent delay of skin wound closure almost similar to the delayed kinetics observed in uPA;tPA double-deficient mice. Analysis of wound extracts showed diminished levels of plasmin in the mU1-treated tPA-deficent mice. Immunohistochemistry revealed that fibrin accumulated in the wounds of such mU1-treated tPA-deficent mice and that keratinocyte tongues were aberrant. Together these abnormalities lead to compromised epidermal closure. Conclusions/Significance: Our findings demonstrate that inhibition of uPA activity with a monoclonal antibody in adult tPA-deficient mice mimics the effect of simultaneous genetic ablation of uPA and tPA. Thus, application of the murin
On continuous variable quantum algorithms for oracle identification problems
We establish a framework for oracle identification problems in the continuous
variable setting, where the stated problem necessarily is the same as in the
discrete variable case, and continuous variables are manifested through a
continuous representation in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. We apply
this formalism to the Deutsch-Jozsa problem and show that, due to an
uncertainty relation between the continuous representation and its
Fourier-transform dual representation, the corresponding Deutsch-Jozsa
algorithm is probabilistic hence forbids an exponential speed-up, contrary to a
previous claim in the literature.Comment: RevTeX4, 15 pages with 10 figure
On the Relationship between Convex Bodies Related to Correlation Experiments with Dichotomic Observables
In this paper we explore further the connections between convex bodies
related to quantum correlation experiments with dichotomic variables and
related bodies studied in combinatorial optimization, especially cut polyhedra.
Such a relationship was established in Avis, Imai, Ito and Sasaki (2005 J.
Phys. A: Math. Gen. 38 10971-87) with respect to Bell inequalities. We show
that several well known bodies related to cut polyhedra are equivalent to
bodies such as those defined by Tsirelson (1993 Hadronic J. S. 8 329-45) to
represent hidden deterministic behaviors, quantum behaviors, and no-signalling
behaviors. Among other things, our results allow a unique representation of
these bodies, give a necessary condition for vertices of the no-signalling
polytope, and give a method for bounding the quantum violation of Bell
inequalities by means of a body that contains the set of quantum behaviors.
Optimization over this latter body may be performed efficiently by semidefinite
programming. In the second part of the paper we apply these results to the
study of classical correlation functions. We provide a complete list of tight
inequalities for the two party case with (m,n) dichotomic observables when
m=4,n=4 and when min{m,n}<=3, and give a new general family of correlation
inequalities.Comment: 17 pages, 2 figure
Quantum Algorithms for the Most Frequently String Search, Intersection of Two String Sequences and Sorting of Strings Problems
We study algorithms for solving three problems on strings. The first one is
the Most Frequently String Search Problem. The problem is the following. Assume
that we have a sequence of strings of length . The problem is finding
the string that occurs in the sequence most often. We propose a quantum
algorithm that has a query complexity . This algorithm
shows speed-up comparing with the deterministic algorithm that requires
queries. The second one is searching intersection of two sequences
of strings. All strings have the same length . The size of the first set is
and the size of the second set is . We propose a quantum algorithm that
has a query complexity . This algorithm shows
speed-up comparing with the deterministic algorithm that requires
queries. The third problem is sorting of strings of length
. On the one hand, it is known that quantum algorithms cannot sort objects
asymptotically faster than classical ones. On the other hand, we focus on
sorting strings that are not arbitrary objects. We propose a quantum algorithm
that has a query complexity . This algorithm shows
speed-up comparing with the deterministic algorithm (radix sort) that requires
queries, where is a size of the alphabet.Comment: THe paper was presented on TPNC 201
