Imperfection effects for multiple applications of the quantum wavelet transform.

We study analytically and numerically the effects of various imperfections in a quantum computation of a simple dynamical model based on the quantum wavelet transform. The results for fidelity time scales, obtained for a large range of error amplitudes and number of qubits, imply that for static imperfections the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computation is decreased by a few orders of magnitude compared to the case of random errors.

Quantum phase transition in the Frenkel-Kontorova chain: from pinned instanton glass to sliding phonon gas.

We study analytically and numerically the one-dimensional quantum Frenkel-Kontorova chain in the regime where the classical model is located in the pinned phase characterized by the gaped phonon excitations and devil's staircase. By extensive quantum Monte Carlo simulations, we show that for the effective Planck constant Planck smaller than the critical value Planck(c) the quantum chain is in the pinned instanton glass phase. In this phase, the elementary excitations have two branches: phonons, separated from zero energy by a finite gap, and instantons that have an exponentially small excitation energy. At Planck = Planck(c) the quantum phase transition takes place and for Planck > Planck(c) the pinned instanton glass is transformed into the sliding phonon gas with gapless phonon excitations. This transition is accompanied by the divergence of the spatial correlation length and appearance of sliding modes at Planck > Planck(c).

Quantum computing of quantum chaos in the kicked rotator model.

We investigate a quantum algorithm that simulates efficiently the quantum kicked rotator model, a system that displays rich physical properties and enables to study problems of quantum chaos, atomic physics, and localization of electrons in solids. The effects of errors in gate operations are tested on this algorithm in numerical simulations with up to 20 qubits. In this way various physical quantities are investigated. Some of them, such as second moment of probability distribution and tunneling transitions through invariant curves, are shown to be particularly sensitive to errors. However, investigations of the fidelity and the Wigner and Husimi distributions show that these physical quantities are robust in presence of imperfections. This implies that the algorithm can simulate the dynamics of quantum chaos in presence of a moderate amount of noise.

Fractal spin glass properties of low energy configurations in the Frenkel-Kontorova chain.

We study, numerically and analytically, the classical one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova chain in the regime of pinned phase characterized by phonon gap. Our results show the existence of exponentially many static equilibrium configurations that are exponentially close to the energy of the ground state. The energies of these configurations form a fractal quasidegenerate band structure that is described on the basis of elementary excitations. Contrary to the ground state, the configurations inside these bands are disordered.

Efficient quantum computing of complex dynamics.

We propose a quantum algorithm which uses the number of qubits in an optimal way and efficiently simulates a physical model with rich and complex dynamics described by the quantum sawtooth map. The numerical study of the effect of static imperfections in the quantum computer hardware shows that the main elements of the phase space structures are accurately reproduced up to a time scale which is polynomial in the number of qubits. The errors generated by these imperfections are more significant than the errors of random noise in gate operations.

Dynamical turbulent flow on the Galton board with friction.

We study numerically and analytically the dynamics of charged particles on the Galton board, a regular lattice of disk scatters, in the presence of constant external force, magnetic field, and friction. It is shown that under certain conditions friction leads to the appearance of a strange chaotic attractor. In this regime the average velocity and direction of particle flow can be effectively affected by electric and magnetic fields. We discuss the applications of these results to the charge transport in antidot superlattices and the stream of suspended particles in a viscous flow through scatters.

Spin-polarized ground state for interacting electrons in two dimensions.

We study numerically the ground state magnetization for clusters of interacting electrons in two dimensions in the regime where the single particle wave functions are localized by disorder. It is found that the Coulomb interaction leads to a spontaneous ground state magnetization. For a constant electronic density, the total spin increases linearly with the number of particles, suggesting a ferromagnetic ground state in the thermodynamic limit. The magnetization is suppressed when the single particle states become delocalized.

Stable quantum computation of unstable classical chaos.

We show on the example of the Arnold cat map that classical chaotic systems can be simulated with exponential efficiency on a quantum computer. Although classical computer errors grow exponentially with time, the quantum algorithm with moderate imperfections is able to simulate accurately the unstable chaotic classical nonlinear dynamics for long times. The algorithm can be easily implemented on systems of a few qubits.

Regular and anomalous quantum diffusion in the Fibonacci kicked rotator.

We study the dynamics of a quantum rotator, impulsively kicked according to the almost-periodic Fibonacci sequence. A special numerical technique allows us to carry on this investigation for as many as 10(12) kicks. It is shown that above a critical kick strength, the excitation of the system is well described by regular diffusion, while below this border it becomes anomalous and subdiffusive. A law for the dependence of the exponent of anomalous subdiffusion on the kick strength is established numerically. The analogy between these results and quantum diffusion in models of quasicrystals and in the kicked Harper system is discussed.

Exponential gain in quantum computing of quantum chaos and localization.

We present a quantum algorithm which simulates the quantum kicked rotator model exponentially faster than classical algorithms. This shows that important physical problems of quantum chaos, localization, and Anderson transition can be modeled efficiently on a quantum computer. We also show that a similar algorithm simulates efficiently classical chaos in certain area-preserving maps.

Quantum computing of quantum chaos and imperfection effects.

We study numerically the imperfection effects in the quantum computing of the kicked rotator model in the regime of quantum chaos. It is shown that there are two types of physical characteristics: for one of them the quantum computation errors grow exponentially with the number of qubits in the computer, while for the other the growth is polynomial. A certain similarity between classical and quantum computing errors is also discussed.
