Fractal states in quantum information processing

  • 1. College of General Studies and Quantum Imaging Laboratory, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215 (United States)

Description

The fractal character of some quantum properties has been shown for systems described by continuous variables. Here, a definition of quantum fractal states is given that suits the discrete systems used in quantum information processing, including quantum coding and quantum computing. Several important examples are provided
