Relationship between differential geometry and quantum computation?












1














I have just started reading about quantum computation (Quantum Computation and Quantum Information, Nielsen and Chuang).



In parallel, I have to study differential geometry for a final exam. After the standard part of it, where you must cover the basic topics, the professor lets you present a related topic (it's optional). I was wondering if I can present some connection between differential geometry and quantum computation. The most promising thing I found is a couple of articles by Howard Brandt (see for example this one.) about Riemmanian geometry.



Can anyone give me more recommendations? The two non obligatory constraints are the following:




  1. I'm a beginner at quantum computation.

  2. If the relationship has anything to do with Frobenius theorem, much better. I also like Lie algebra.


Thank you very much.

    Perhaps if you add 'Lie Algebras' as a tag more people will see your question and someone may answer

  • Classical mechanics take place on a symplectic manifold, which is a differentiable manifold equipped with a nondegenerate 2-form. There is some big theory of what it means to "quantise" this situation, to get to a corresponding quantum mechanical theory. But perhaps this is too in-depth (or equally well, too vague!). As a completely different idea, have you looked at topological quantum error correction?
