I was reading this paper: Quantum Anonymous Networking: A Quantum Leap in Privacy (DOI: 10.1109/MNET.2024.3408814)
In 1) Anonymous Data Disseminating and 3) Anonymous Qudit Teleporting section of the paper, it mentions (d-dimensional) digit-shift Weyl gate:
In 1) Anonymous Data Disseminating section:
and then sequentially performing controlled d-dimensional Weyl-x, i.e., digit-shift $ X_{d}^{j} $ gates with the first qudit as the control and each of the subsequent qudits as the target
The paper further explains on this part by saying:
In this controlled digit-shift operation, if the control qudit is in the state |j〉, the target qudit is shifted by j in the computational basis applying j times the d-dimensional digit-shift Weyl gate $ X_d $
In 3) Anonymous Qudit Teleporting section:
Alice applies the controlled digit-shift Weyl gate, i.e., the d-dimensional controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate between her teleporting qudit (control) | ψ 〉 T and her member qudit (target)
Given that the paper use "i.e.", so I think that: controlled d-dimensional Weyl-x = controlled digit-shift $ X_{d}^{j} $ gates = controlled (d-dimensional) digit-shift Weyl gate = d-dimensional controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate
But I still have no idea what these gates are.
I had tried searching with these terms:
- digit shift quantum gate
- Only get results about quantum gate for qubit
- The first 2 result is wikipedia. Quantum logic gate & List of quantum logic gates
- List of quantum logic gates has phase shift, but it doesn't contain digit shift.
- Only get results about quantum gate for qubit
- digit shift quantum
- How to realize the index shift operation in quantum circuit? - quantumcomputing stackexchange
- This question is about index shift not digit shift. Is "index shift" the same as "digit shift"? I don't know.
- Quantum Shift Register
- It works on qubit not qudit.
- I can't understand it though ...
- Quantum circuit implementation of shift operator in quantum walk
- Seems releated, but I can't understand it.
- How to realize the index shift operation in quantum circuit? - quantumcomputing stackexchange
- Weyl-x gate
- Quantum Gates pdf by Gavin E. Crooks
- Excellent resource for me to understand quantum computing.
- But still talk about qubit not qudit.
- Only contains info about Weyl chamber, not weyl-x gate
- Quantum Gates pdf by Gavin E. Crooks
None of these results answer my question.
Could someone explain what is d-dimensional digit-shift Weyl gate and its operation?
