NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF MIXED STATE QUANTUM COMPUTATION
Piotr Gawron, Jarosław Adam Miszczak · International Journal of Quantum Information · 2004
We describe the [Formula: see text] package of functions useful for simulations of quantum algorithms and protocols. The presented package allows one to perform simulations with mixed states. We present numerical implementation of important quantum mechanical operations — partial trace and partial transpose. Those operations are used as building blocks of algorithms for analysis of entanglement and quantum error correction codes. A simulation of Shor's algorithm is presented as an example of package capabilities.
