Quantum mechanical NMR implementation of DNA algorithm for satisfiability problem
Abstract
DNA computation could in principle solve the satisfiability (SAT) problem due to the operations in parallel on extremely large numbers of strands. We demonstrate some quantum gates corresponding to the DNA ones, based on which an implementation of DNA algorithm for SAT problem is available by quantum mechanical way. Since quantum computation owns the favorable feature of operations in parallel on 2 states by using only n qubits, instead of 2 strands in DNA computation, computational complexity is much reduced in treating the SAT problem quantum mechanically. We take a three-clause SAT problem with two variables as an example, and carry out a NMR experiment for solving a one-variable SAT problem.
