Exercise 3.1. How might you use the SG experiment to build a random number generator? Pass atoms from an oven with random spin through a Stern-Gerlach apparatus. If the S-G apparatus passes spin up, then assign bit 0 to the atom. If the S-G apparatus passes spin down, then assign bit 1 to the atom. The result is a random sequence of 0’s and 1’s. A string of n bits can represent any number from 0 to 2n-1. Therefore, the random string of 0’s and 1’s can be converted to a random number.

Exercise 6.1. Why do we need single photons for QKD to be secure? Why not use “classical light” composed of many photons to represent 0 and 1? With classical light, a fraction of the many photons (down to a single photon) comprising the state could be split off and measured without detection. A single photon, representing a single qubit, cannot be split.

Exercise 8.1. How might we use teleportation to design a quantum optical repeater? Sketch the overall design of your repeater. A repeated series of teleportation circuits can transport a state over a long distance. Alice 1 and Bob 1 share an entangled state, Alice 2 and Bob 2 share an entangled state, etc. Each pair of Alice and Bob constitute a single teleportation circuit. The double lines indicate the transmission of the classical bits in each teleportation circuit. Thus, one can employ a process of entanglement swapping: Rev. Mod. Phys. 83 (2011) 33.

Finally, suppose the input is: |0> = |0>|0> … |1> … |0>|0> i.e., one of the middle qubits is |1>. The NOT (X) gates transform the state to:

Exercise 16.4. Derive Eq. (16.51) to (16.54). E + W11 W12 H + H′ = ( 0 W21 E1 + W22 ) E0 + W11 W12 α α ( ) (β) = E (β) W21 E1 + W22 E0 + W11 − E W12 α ( )( ) = 0 W21 E1 + W22 − E β The eigenvalues are found by diagonalizing the matrix, H + H′. This is done by setting the determinant of the matrix to zero: det (

(E0 + W11 − E)(E1 + W22 − E) − W12W21 = 0 ∗ (perturbation matrix is Hermitian), we have W12W21 = |W21|2. Hence, Since W12 = W21

Rearranging, θ θ tanθtan2 + 2tan − tanθ = 0 2 2 θ

Solve this quadratic equation for tan : 2

θ −1 ± √1 + tan2θ tan = 2 tanθ θ

On the Bloch sphere, 0    , so tan is positive. This means we take the positive square root 2

θ −1 + √1 + tan2θ tan = 2 tanθ Substituting tanθ =

gives:

Also, after some arduous arithmetic, you can show that: θ sin = 2 θ cos = 2

Using the above coefficients (probability amplitudes), we can rewrite the wavefunctions as: θ

|+⟩ = cos 2 | 0⟩ + eiφ sin 2 |1 ⟩

|−⟩ = −sin 2 | 0⟩ + eiφ cos 2 |1 ⟩ Or, if we multiply by the global phase factor of e−iφ2 θ

Exercise 25.2. If the probability of a bit flip error occurring is p, show that the probability of two or more errors occurring in a 3-qubit encoding is 3p2 − 2p3. Probability of a bit flip error occurring is p Probability of a bit flip error not occurring is 1−p Start with |000> Probability of |110> occurring = (p)(p)(1-p) = p2 – p3 Probability of |011> occurring = (1-p)(p)(p) = p2 – p3 Probability of |101> occurring = (p)(1-p)(p) = p2 – p3 Probability of |111> occurring = (p)(p)(p) = p3 Total probability = 3p2 − 2p3

The carriers experience a Lorentz force from the applied magnetic field, F y = evxBz. Carriers are deflected by Lorenz force producing a counteracting electrostatic force, eEy. At equilibrium, eEy = evxBz Ey = vxBz The carrier velocity, vx = Jx/ne Current density, Jx = Ix/A = Ix/tW Electric field, Ey = Vy / W Combining the above equations gives the Hall coefficient, R = V /I = Bz H
