An efficient quantum shear sorting （QSS） algorithm is used to reduce the number of time steps. For the QSS algorithm, the running complexity of the quantum switching architecture is polynomial in time with the nearest neighbor coupling and the implementation is less complex. The result shows that improved switching is extremely simple to implement using existing quantum computer candidates.展开更多

Quantum switching architecture is one of the promising schemes for transferring input quantum data to its destination port substituted for fully connected quantum networks. Since at present, interactions between the qubits are limited to a small number of neighboring qubits, one novel approach was extended, and the improved architecture was further demonstrated under limited nonlocal operation. The performance evaluation shows that the whole architecture with improved control module can achieve a time complexity of O（n^2） and will be more feasible for physical realization.展开更多

In the existing linear optical scheme, two single photon detectors （SPDs） are used to herald the success of the quantum Fredkin gate while they have no photon count. But analysis results show that for non-perfect SPD, the lower the detector efficiency, the higher the heralded success rate by this scheme is. We propose an improved linear optical quantum Fredkin gate by designing a new heralding scheme with an auxiliary qubit and only one SPD, in which the higher the detection efficiency of the heralding detector, the higher the success rate of the gate is. The new heralding scheme can also work efficiently under a non-ideal single photon source. Based on this quantum Fredkin gate, large-scale quantum switching networks can be built. As an example, a quantum Bene~ network is shown in which only one SPD is used.展开更多

In the switching control strategy, we divide the state space into two parts： a set containing a target state, and its complementary set. By analyzing the stability of the stochastic system model under consideration, we design a constant control law and give some conditions that the control Hamiltonian satisfies so that the system trajectories in the complementary set converge to the set which contains the target state. Further, for the case of a non-degenerate measurement operator, we show that the system trajectories in the set containing the target state will automatically converge to the target state via quantum continuous measurement theory; while for the case of a degenerate measurement operator, the corresponding system trajectories will also converge to the target state via the construction of the control Hamiltonians. The convergence of the whole closed-loop systems under the cases of a non-degenerate and a degenerate measurement operator is strictly proved. The effectiveness of the proposed switching control scheme is verified by the simulation experiments on a finite-dimensional angular momentum system and a two-qubit system.展开更多

While,there is no efficient way to remove internal blocking in a banyan network in a classical way, quantum state fusion, by which the two-dimensional internal quantum states of two photons could be combined into a four-dimensional internal state of a single photon, makes it possible to solve this problem. In this paper, we convert the output mode of quantum state fusion from spatial-polarization mode into time-polarization mode. By combining modified quantum state fusion and quantum state fission with quantum Fredkin gate, we propose a practical scheme to build an optical quantum switch unit which is block free. The scheme can be extended to building more complex units, four of which are shown in this paper.展开更多

By analyzing the stability of the stochastic system model under consideration, we design a constant control law and give some conditions that the control Hamiltonian satisfies so that the system trajectories in the complementary set converge to the set which contains the target state.
