Abstract

This paper explores and suggests possibilities for the design of quantum blockchain systems that are inspired by quantum processing techniques. Quantum states are defined that can be processed either by a physical quantum computer or virtually by emulation on a classical computer where such states can be entangled across different nodes in the system. The collapse of quantum state variables are explored utilizing non-deterministic smart contract processing. A quantum blockchain network is realized with different nodes in the system interacting with each other though a communication network. Different networking use-cases are explored such as to determine which user is given access to a network at a given time, or to select the best access node for a given user.

Integrable quantum computation

Integrable quantum computation is defined as quantum computing via the integrable condition, in which two-qubit gates are either nontrivial unitary solutions of the Yang---Baxter equation or the Swap gate (permutation). To make the definition clear, in ...
Contextuality Supplies the Magic for Quantum Computation
ISMVL '15: Proceedings of the 2015 IEEE 45th International Symposium on Multiple-Valued Logic

We know that quantum mechanics enables the performance of computational and cryptographic tasks that are impossible (or impracticable) using only classical physics. It seems natural to examine manifestations of inherently quantum behaviour as potential ...
Quantum computing and quantum simulation with group-II atoms

Recent experimental progress in controlling neutral group-II atoms for optical clocks, and in the production of degenerate gases with group-II atoms has given rise to novel opportunities to address challenges in quantum computing and quantum simulation. ...
