  1. Quantum Algorithms McKay Graybill

  2. Quantum Computers • They already exist • Different models and ideas • Quantum Parallelism • Measurement is tricky, inherently imprecise

  3. Quantum Gates • Represented by a unitary matrix • Controlled-Not • Controlled-Controlled-Not (Toffoli) • Hadamard

  4. Universal Quantum Computer • Can simulate any combination of gates • Example (Steane, 1998): CNOT =

  5. Shor’s Big Idea • “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer”, 1994 • Inspired by the work of Dan Simon, 1993-1994 • Computations are dependent upon physics • Finding the period of a function

  6. Shor’s Algorithm • M, a, m ∈ ℤ : M2 < 2m < 2M2 • Qubits required: m + ⌈log2(M)⌉ • f(x) = ax mod M, for all 0 < x < 2m – 1 • Measure the state to align amplitude function • Fourier transform, Euclidean verification, repeat as necessary

  7. Grover’s Search Algorithm • O(√n) search on unsorted dataset of size n • Requires N + 1 qubits, where 2N ≥n • Extra qubit is Boolean result of test function P(x) • Custom transformation • Repeat transformations to increase reading state where P(x) is true

  8. Other Ideas • Truly Random Number Generation • Data Key Distribution and Truly Secure Communication • Constraint Satisfaction Problems • Simulation of actual physical environments • Probably more…

  9. Current State of Research • Error threshold • Scalability • Specialized • Math and Physics is still the API • Shor’s 2003 Paper
