The Parrondo game is one in which a random combination of two losing games produces a winning game. We introduce novel realizations of this Parrondo effect in which the player can `win' via random reflections and rotations of the state-vector, and connect these to known quantum algorithms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-03-10T17:20:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum algorithms", "parrondo game", "parrondo effect", "quantum computation", "novel realizations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002quant.ph..3043L" } } }
