- Abstract:
-
A simulator for quantum information systems cannot be both general,
that is, easily used for every possible system, and efficient.
Therefore, some systems will have aspects which can only be simulated
by cunning modeling. On the other hand, a simulation may conveniently
do extra-systemic processing that would be impractical in a real
system. We illustrate with examples from our quantum computing
simulator, QCSim. We model the [3,1] Hamming code in the presence of
random bit flip or generalized amplitude damping noise, and calculate
the expected result in one simulation run, as opposed to, say, a Monte
Carlo simulation, and keep the original state to compute the chance of
successful transmission, too. We also model the BB84 protocol with
eavesdropping and random choice of basis and compute the chance of
information received faithfully. Finally, we present our simulation
of teleportation as an example of the trade-off between complexity of
the simulation model and complexity of simulation inputs and as an
example of modeling measurements and classical bits.
