Abstract摘要
A universal quantum processor is a device that takes as input a (quantum) program, containing an encoding of an arbitrary unitary gate, and a (quantum) data register, on which the encoded gate is applied. While no perfect universal quantum processor can exist, approximate processors have been proposed in the past two decades. A fundamental open question is how the size of the smallest quantum program scales with the approximation error.
In this talk, I will provide an answer to the question, by proving a bound on the size of the program and designing a concrete protocol that attains the bound in the asymptotic limit. The optimal construction highlights the usage of a new type of high-performance quantum reference frames, which can also be used to construct covariant quantum error correction codes.
This result witnesses a connection between optimal programming and the Heisenberg limit of quantum metrology, and establishes an asymptotic equivalence between the tasks of programming, learning, and estimating unitary gates.
