Maple tools for teaching and exploring quantum computation and information protocols — •Thomas Radtke1 and Stephan Fritzsche2 — 1Institut für Physik, Universität Kassel, 34132 Kassel, Germany — 2Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI), 64291 Darmstadt, Germany
During the last decade, the field of quantum information and computation has been growing rapidly. Beside of the great promise and the potential of various quantum information protocols, such as Shor’s factorization algorithm, quantum teleportation and others, however, there are still many open problems to be solved. Although entanglement has been recognized today as a crucial resource for quantum information, it is still not fully understood, especially in the multipartite setting [1].
To assist in the teaching and study of multi-qubit quantum states and
algorithms, several software tools have been presented and discussed in
the web. More often than not, however, these tools only implement a rather limited set of features
or they were focused on special protocols. Therefore, in order to
provide a flexible toolbox, we developed the FEYNMAN program within the framework of MAPLE [2].
Apart from a catalogue of frequently used quantum gates and noisy channels this program
implements a variety of separability criteria as well as entanglement
measures. In this poster, we show how this toolbox can be utilized
for teaching basic but also more advanced topics in quantum information
theory.
