量子心灵感应: 具有近期应用前景的量子技术(特邀)

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 量子心灵感应是指利用量子纠缠解决现实世界中涉及多方决策协调的问题, 其中部分参与方之间通信受限。通信受限的原因之一是延迟约束: 参与方需在接收到输入后的限定时间内给出输出, 该约束导致某些参与方之间缺乏足够的通信时间, 典型场景包括高频交易与分布式系统。另一原因是参与方之间存在物理或操作上的隔离, 例如偏远科考中的无人机导航、自组织网络路由中隶属于相互竞争公司的部分节点, 均会形成通信障碍。本文概述了量子心灵感应的多种实际应用场景, 这些场景可借助非定域博弈或允许部分参与方通信的推广形式进行建模。此外, 本文还探讨了量子心灵感应可行的物理实现方案。量子心灵感应的量子优势由贝尔定理保证, 并可在现有量子硬件上实现。

Abstract: Quantum telepathy is the concept of using quantum entanglement to solve real-world problems that require decision coordination between parties among which communication between certain pairs is restricted. One possible reason for this communication restriction is a latency constraint: some pairs of parties do not have sufficient time to exchange information before producing their outputs. Example scenarios include high-frequency trading and distributed systems. Another reason is physical or operational isolation: for certain pairs of parties, communication is obstructed. Example scenarios include drone navigation in remote areas and ad hoc network routing where nodes belong to competing firms. This paper provides a concise overview of the diverse application areas of quantum telepathy. These realworld problems can be modeled as nonlocal games or their generalizations, in which a subset of parties may communicate. In addition, possible physical implementations are also discussed. Quantum telepathy offers a provable quantum advantage, as guaranteed by Bell's theorem, and this advantage can be realized using existing quantum hardware.

Key words: Bell inequality, quantum telepathy, decision coordination, latency constraint, high-frequency trading, distributed systems
