Abstract

How to achieve an arbitrary real-valued probability amplitude in the general single-partite or multipartite quantum system without measuring any other quantum state's probability amplitude? How to achieve an arbitrary real-valued probability amplitude with the deterministic polynomial time's complexity under a small given error? In this paper, one novel quantum measurement scheme is proposed to solve these questions based on the idea of binary searching. First, the measurement algorithm with the exponential speed-up on the quantum state with one single qubit is well-designed. Then, the measurement algorithm is extended to the quantum states in the general multipartite quantum system and the special multipartite quantum system. The theoretical analysis proves that the proposed quantum measurement scheme has the performance in quantum information processing with twofold advantages: separable measurement and exponential speed up.
