Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow's group meeting will be given by Jon. Please see below for the
abstract of his talk.
Also note: *next week's group meeting will be Wednesday, March 25, at
10:30am*. I will send another reminder out early next week.
Thanks,
Jennifer
------------------------------
In this talk we will discuss the decomposition and compilation of diagonal
operators in the gate model of quantum computation. Specifically we will
cover the decomposition using the Walsh System, and the Phase Context
Decomposition algorithm. We will discuss the benefits associated with each
system and will discuss some open questions that have arisen while
exploring the space of circuits these decompositions can produce.
We will begin with an introduction/review of the Walsh Decomposition and
how it is used for building quantum circuits for diagonal operators. Then
we will introduce and cover the phase context decomposition and introduce
the concept of a cascaded entangler network which provides an alternative
but completely complementary approach to the Walsh system for decomposing
diagonal operators efficiently. We will conclude with a discussion on the
performance of the two methods against some randomly generated sample
operators.
