Abstract
En 中文
Quantum computational devices currently under development have the potential to accelerate data analysis techniques beyond the ability of any classical algorithm. We propose the application of a quantum algorithm for the detection of unknown signals in noisy data. We apply Grover's algorithm to matched filtering, a signal processing technique that compares data to a number of candidate signal templates. In comparison to the classical method, this provides a speedup proportional to the square root of the number of templates, which would make possible otherwise intractable searches. We demonstrate both a proof-of-principle quantum circuit implementation and a simulation of the algorithm's application to the detection of the gravitational wave signal GW150914. We discuss the time complexity and space requirements of our algorithm as well as its implications for the currently computationally limited searches for continuous gravitational waves.
