Strutture algebriche nella computazione quantistica

Shi and Aharonov have shown that the Toffoli gate and the Hadamard gate give rise to an approximately universal set of quantum computational gates. We study the basic algebraic properties of this system by introducing the notion of Shi-Abaronov quantum computational structure. Finally, we investigate the possibility of an algebraic abstraction from Hilbert-space structures, by proposing the notion of Toffoli-Hadamard algebra. From an intuitive point of view, such abstract algebras represent a natural quantum generalization of both classical and fuzzy-like structures.
