Clifford Simulation: Techniques and Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-28)Despite the widespread belief that quantum computers cannot be efficiently simulated classically, efficient simulation is known to be possible in certain restricted regimes. In particular, the Gottesman-Knill theorem states ... -
Graph-Theoretic Techniques for Optimizing NISQ Algorithms
(University of Waterloo, 2024-02-15)Entering the NISQ era, the search for useful yet simple quantum algorithms is perhaps of more importance now than it may ever be in the future. In place of quantum walks, the quantum Fourier transform, and asymptotic results ... -
On the Evolutionary Design of Quantum Circuits
(University of Waterloo, 2005)The goal of this work is to understand the application of the evolutionary programming approach to the problem of quantum circuit design. This problem is motivated by the following observations: <ul> <li>In order to ... -
An Optimizing Pulse Sequence Compiler for NMR QIP
(University of Waterloo, 2003)Quantum information processing is a multi-disciplinary science involving physics, mathematics, computer science, and even quantum chemistry. It is centred around the idea of manipulating physical systems at the quantum ... -
Quantum Compression and Quantum Learning via Information Theory
(University of Waterloo, 2020-12-21)This thesis consists of two parts: quantum compression and quantum learning theory. A common theme between these problems is that we study them through the lens of information theory. We first study the task of visible ... -
Theory of measurement-based quantum computing
(University of Waterloo, 2008-12-10)In the study of quantum computation, data is represented in terms of linear operators which form a generalized model of probability, and computations are most commonly described as products of unitary transformations, which ...
