Fast graph operations in quantum computation
Liming Zhao, Carlos A. Pérez-Delgado, Joseph F. Fitzsimons · Physical Review A · 2016
Graphs, mathematical objects used as a ubiquitous representation of data structures, are commonly applied to better understand certain entangled states called graph states. In this insightful investigation, the authors take the inverse route, and show that quantum graph states provide an efficient way of representing and manipulating graphs better than any possible classical structure.
