Grover-like search via a Frenkel-exciton trapping mechanism
Alagu Thilagam · Physical Review A · 2010
We propose the physical implementation of a Grover-like search problem by means of Frenkel exciton trapping at a shallow isotopic impurity against a background of competing mechanisms. The search, culminating at the impurity molecule, designated the ``winner'' site, is marked by its enhanced interaction with acoustic phonons at low temperatures. The quantum search proceeds with the assistance of an oracle-like exciton-phonon interaction that addresses only the impurity site via the Dyson propagator within the Green's function formalism. The optimum parameters of a graph lattice with long-range intersite interactions required to trap the exciton in the fastest time are determined, and estimates of error rates for the naphthalene-doped organic system are evaluated. We extend the analysis of the quantum search to a fluctuating long-range interacting cycle (LRIC) graph-lattice system.
