Quantum interference as a resource for quantum speedup

Quantum interference as a resource for quantum speedup

Quantum states can, in a sense, be thought of as generalizations of classical probability distributions, but are more powerful than probability distributions when used for computation or communication. Quantum speedup therefore requires some feature of quantum states that classical probability distributions lack. One such feature is interference. We quantify interference …
