Quantum parallelism cannot be simply utilized to provide computation results to all input states simultaneously Quantum error correction: Quantum measurement turns small state corruption into large errors with small probability Statistical nature provides grounds for unconditional security in quantum key distribution protocols

Efficient algorithm known to solve the problem

classical No efficient algorithm known to solve the problem

Easy, Efficient: an algorithm exists where the total number of steps is polynomial in the number of digits (or bits) in the problem size
Jungsang Kim Spring 2011

 Given a problem of input size N = 2n PSPACE

Problems that could be solved on a small computer Computer size is polynomial in n Time to run the algorithm is not bound

P
Problems that could be solved in polynomial time

NP
Problems whose answer could be verified in polynomial time Subset NP-Complete: Hardest problems in NP, in a sense that solving these could solve all problems in NP

BPP
Problems that could be solved in polynomial time using randomized algorithm, with bounded probability of error

 Open Problems:
P = NP? NP = PSPACE?

PSPACE NP NPC? P

Factoring Problem
Definitely in NP, but widely believed not to be in P In fact, the number theorists strong belief lead to cryptosystems based on this problem!!

 BQP
Problems efficiently solved on a quantum computer with bounded error probability

If P = BQP, then P = PSPACE If factoring is not in P, then P = BQP Are there other problems where quantum computers prove to be more powerful?

 Private Key Cryptography:

Sender and receiver shares a random string of bits (key) known only to them, and then communicates encoded message Practical challenge is to distribute the key safely!!

Public Key Cryptography (Rivest, Shamir & Adleman):

Use non-invertible problems and publicly distribute key Receiver publishes the key, and sender encodes the message using this key Only receiver can decode, since the problem is hard to invert They are not fundamentally safe, only computationally safe Quantum computers can effectively break this cryptosystem!
Jungsang Kim Spring 2011

What Quantum taketh, Quantum Giveth back (Quote unknown to instructor) Quantum uncertainty inherent in quantum measurement could be utilized to devise a scheme to share random bit string between two parties in a fundamentally secure manner, if a quantum channel of communication is provided! Quantum Key Distribution technology is quite real
