论文摘要
最近，通过开发和证明各种量子算法，量子电路上开放量子动力学的模拟引起了广泛的兴趣。其中，基于统一的量子算法的一种特殊设计能够模拟一般和复杂的物理系统。在本文中，我们将此量子算法应用于模拟鸟类指南针中激进机制的动力学。该应用在IBM质量量子模拟器上证明。这项工作是任何量子算法的第一个应用，用于模拟鸟类指南针中的激进对机理，该机制不仅展示了量子算法的通用性，而且还为使用量子计算设备研究鸟类指南针开辟了新的机会。
The simulation of open quantum dynamics on quantum circuits has attracted wide interests recently with a variety of quantum algorithms developed and demonstrated. Among these, one particular design of a unitary-dilation-based quantum algorithm is capable of simulating general and complex physical systems. In this paper, we apply this quantum algorithm to simulating the dynamics of the radical pair mechanism in the avian compass. This application is demonstrated on the IBM QASM quantum simulator. This work is the first application of any quantum algorithm to simulating the radical pair mechanism in the avian compass, which not only demonstrates the generality of the quantum algorithm, but also opens new opportunities for studying the avian compass with quantum computing devices.
