Coherence dynamics in Simon's quantum algorithm

Quantum Physics 2026-04-20 v1

Abstract

Quantum coherence plays a pivotal role in quantum algorithms. We study the coherence dynamics of the evolved states in Simon's quantum algorithm based on Tsallis relative α\alpha entropy and l1,pl_{1,p} norm. We prove that the coherences of the first register and the second register both rely on the dimension NN of the state spaces of the nn qubit systems, and increase with the increase of NN. We show that the oracle operator OO does not change the coherence. Moreover, we study the coherence dynamics in the Simon's quantum algorithm and prove that in overall the coherence is in production when N>4N>4 and in depletion when N<4N<4.
