Comments on `Stable Quantum Computation of Unstable Classical Chaos,' `Efficient Quantum Computing Insensitive to Phase Errors,' and `Quantum Computer Inverting Time Arrow for Macroscopic Systems'
Abstract
Description
Recently, the paper B. Georgeot and D.L. Shepelyansky, Phys. Rev. Lett._86_, 5393 (2001) has been criticized [C. Zalka, quant-ph/0110019; L. Di'osi, quant-ph/0110026]. The Letter claims an exponential speedup and reduction in error sensitivity, when phase-space density evolution under the Arnold cat map is performed on a quantum computer. On the one hand, some points have not yet been made by previous respondents. On the other, the authors' reaction [quant-ph/0110142] raises new issues. The present note addresses both.
