%0 Journal Article %T Storing quantum dynamics in quantum states: stochastic programmable gate for U(1) operations %A G. Vidal %A L. Masanes %A J. I. Cirac %J Physics %D 2001 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.047905 %X We show how quantum dynamics can be captured in the state of a quantum system, in such a way that the system can be used to stochastically perform, at a later time, the stored transformation perfectly on some other quantum system. Thus programmable quantum gates for quantum information processing are feasible if some probability of failure -that we show to decrease exponentially with the size of the storing resources- is allowed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0102037v1
