自从进入大数据时代,人们对于数据处理速度的需求越来越大,但是经典计算的发展却逐渐达到瓶颈,越来越难以满足这种需求.由于并行性,量子计算在诸多问题的处理上可以达到指数加速效果,有巨大的信息处理潜力,正好能满足人类对于数据处理速度的需求,被公认为是下一代信息技术的核心技术.围绕量子计算,最近实验演示了2种具有指数加速效果的量子算法:求解线性方程组量子算法和机器学习量子算法;其次介绍了最新实现的多自由度量子隐形传态.量子隐形传态是可扩展的线性光学KLM方案的重要组成部分.多自由度量子隐形传态实验打破了国际学术界从1997年以来只能传输粒子单一自由度的局限,为发展可扩展的量子计算奠定了基础.
Since entering the era of big data, demand of data processing speed has been growing faster and faster,but the development of classical computing has gradually reached a bottleneck. Because of parallelism, quantum computing in dealing with many problems can achieve exponential acceleration, thus has a huge potential for information processing and is recognized as a promising candidate of next generation of information technology. Around quantum computing, we review two recent experimental demonstrations of quantum algorithms with exponentially faster speed: quantum algorithm for solving linear equations and quantum machine learning. Then we review the latest experiment of quantum teleportation of multiple degrees of freedom of a single photon, which breaks the limitation of quantum teleportation of only single degree of freedom since 1997. Since quantum teleportation is a basic building block of KLMJs scheme for efficient quantum computation with linear optics, the experiment is an important step for the development of scalable quantum computing.
