Nonclassical Structures within the N-qubit Pauli Group

Waegell, Mordecai 23 April 2013 (has links)
Structures that demonstrate nonclassicality are of foundational interest in quantum mechanics, and can also be seen as resources for numerous applications in quantum information processing - particularly in the Hilbert space of N qubits. The theory of entanglement, quantum contextuality, and quantum nonlocality within the N-qubit Pauli group is further developed in this thesis. The Strong Kochen-Specker theorem and the structures that prove it are introduced and explored in detail. The pattern of connections between structures that show entanglement, contextuality, and nonlocality is explained. Computational search algorithms and related tools were developed and used to perform complete searches for minimal nonclassical structures within the N-qubit Pauli group up to values of N limited by our computational resources. Our results are surveyed and prescriptions are given for using the elementary nonclassical structures we have found to construct more complex types of such structures. Families of nonclassical structures are presented for all values of N, including the most compact family of projector-based parity proofs of the Kochen-Specker theorem yet discovered in all dimensions of the form 2N, where N>=2. The applications of our results and their connection with other work is also discussed.

Discrete algebra and geometry applied to the Pauli group and mutually unbiased bases in quantum information theory / Algèbre et géométrie discrètes appliquées au groupe de Pauli et aux bases décorrélées en théorie de l’information quantique

Albouy, Olivier 12 June 2009 (has links)
Pour d non puissance d’un nombre premier, le nombre maximal de bases deux à deux décorrélées d’un espace de Hilbert de dimension d n’est pas encore connu. Dans ce mémoire, nous commençons par donner une construction de bases décorrélées en lien avec une famille de représentations irréductibles de l'algèbre de Lie su(2) et faisant appel aux sommes de Gauss.Puis nous étudions de façon systématique la possibilité de construire de telle bases au moyen des opérateurs de Pauli. 1) L’étude de la droite projective sur Zdm montre que, pour obtenir des ensembles maximaux de bases décorrélées à l’aide d'opérateurs de Pauli, il est nécessaire de considérer des produits tensoriels de ces opérateurs. 2) Les sous-modules lagrangiens de Zd2n, dont nous donnons une classification complète, rendent compte des ensembles maximalement commutant d'opérateurs de Pauli. Cette classification permet de savoir lesquels de ces ensembles sont susceptibles de donner des bases décorrélées : ils correspondent aux demi-modules lagrangiens, qui s'interprètent encore comme les points isotropes de la droite projective (P(Mat(n, Zd)²),ω). Nous explicitons alors un isomorphisme entre les bases décorrélées ainsi obtenues et les demi-modules lagrangiens distants, ce qui précise aussi la correspondance entre sommes de Gauss et bases décorrélées. 3) Des corollaires sur le groupe de Clifford et l’espace des phases discret sont alors développés.Enfin, nous présentons quelques outils inspirés de l’étude précédente. Nous traitons ainsi du rapport anharmonique sur la sphère de Bloch, de géométrie projective en dimension supérieure, des opérateurs de Pauli continus et nous comparons l'entropie de von Neumann à une mesure de l'intrication par calcul d'un déterminant. / For d not a power of a prime, the maximal number of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in a d-dimensional Hilbert space is still unknown. In this thesis, we begin by an original building of MUBs by means of Gauss sums, in relation with a family of irreducible representations of the Lie algebra su(2).Then, we sytematically study the possibility of building such bases by means of Pauli operators. 1) The study of the projective line on Zdm shows that, in order to obtain maximal sets of MUBs, tensorial products of these operators are in order. 2) Lagrangian submodules of Zd2n, of which we give a complete classification, account for maximally commuting sets of Pauli operators. This classification enables to know which of these sets are likely to yield unbiased bases. They correspond to Lagrangian half-modules that can be interpreted as the isotropic points of the projective line (P(Mat(n, Zd)²),ω). Hence, we establish an isomorphism between the unbiased bases thus obtained and distant Lagrangian half-modules, which precises by the way the correspondance between Gauss sums and MUBs. 3) Corollaries on the Clifford group and the finite phase space are then developed.Finally, we present some tools inspired by the previous study. We deal with the cross-ratio on the Bloch sphere and projective geometry in higher dimension, Pauli operators with continuous exponents and we compare von Neumann entropy with a determinantal measure of entanglement
