Semi prime key breaking through Shor’s Algorithm
The initial implementation of semi-prime key breaking through Shor's Algorithm has been successfully completed using quantum simulators and IBM's online quantum hardware. This breakthrough demonstrates the potential of quantum computing to solve complex cryptographic problems that are intractable for classical computers. The current focus is on error mitigation analysis to improve the accuracy and reliability of the results, addressing the inherent noise and decoherence issues in quantum hardware to refine the algorithm's performance and bring it closer to practical.
Grover’s Search Algorithm
Grover’s Search Algorithm has been initially implemented on simulators and online IBM hardware, showcasing the feasibility and functionality of the quantum search algorithm in practical applications. A graphical user interface (GUI) for analyzing 10 qubits has been successfully deployed, facilitating user interaction and experimentation with the algorithm. Currently, efforts are focused on enhancing the algorithm's capabilities for pattern matching in complex data, aiming to leverage quantum computing's potential for significant improvements in search efficiency and performance.
Error Mitigation Techniques
Error mitigation techniques in quantum computing are essential due to qubits' susceptibility to errors, which vary by type, such as superconducting, trapped ions, or photonic qubits. Strategies include error correction codes like Surface Code and Shor Code, which protect quantum information by encoding it across multiple qubits, and error suppression methods like dynamical decoupling, which reduces decoherence through periodic pulses. Additionally, techniques like zero-noise extrapolation and probabilistic error cancellation mitigate errors without full error correction. The effectiveness of these methods varies across different qubit platforms, emphasizing the need for tailored error mitigation strategies.
Qubit to Qubit Data Transfer
An initial quantum circuit for single qubit data transfer has been developed and deployed on a quantum simulator, marking a significant step in quantum computing research. This foundational work enables the simulation of qubit-to-qubit data transfer, essential for future quantum communication and computation tasks. Alongside the circuit development, a graphical user interface (GUI) has been created to facilitate interaction with and visualization of the quantum processes involved. Ongoing research aims to enhance the circuit's efficiency and reliability, paving the way for more complex quantum data transfer systems.
