Quantum gate synthesis by small perturbation of a particle in a box with electric field
摘要
A quantum unitary gate is studied theoretically by perturbing a free charged particle in a one-dimensional box with a time- and position-varying electric field. The perturbed Hamiltonian is composed of a free particle Hamiltonian plus a perturbing electric potential such that the Schrödinger evolution in time T, the unitary evolution operator of the unperturbed system after truncation to a finite number of energy levels, approximates a given unitary gate such as the quantum Fourier transform gate. The idea is to truncate the half-wave Fourier sine series to M terms in the spatial variable
