A note on superposition of two unknown states using Deutsch CTC model

Abstract: In a recent work, authors prove a yet another no-go theorem that forbids the existence of a universal probabilistic quantum protocol producing a superposition of two unknown quantum states. In this short note, we show that in the presence of closed time like curves, one can indeed create superposition of unknown quantum states and evade the no-go result.

“…Recently, it was proven that a quantum operation that adds two unknown quantum states is forbidden in general [24,25]. Since then, im-arXiv:1709.07409v2 [quant-ph] 17 Oct 2018 portant results in optimized approximate or probabilistic quantum adders have been analyzed, and in some cases implemented, which may find applications to different aspects of quantum technologies [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

“…In the last years, the design and implementation of approximate quantum adders [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] has emerged with unexpected connections. Recently, it was proven that a quantum operation that adds two unknown quantum states is forbidden in general [24,25].…”

“…At the same time, a probabilistic quantum adder with partial prior knowledge of the summands was proposed [2] and has been realized in the lab [3,4]. In parallel, a study of quantum adders in the context of closed timelike curves has been developed [5]. The use of approximate quantum adders as constituents of quantum algorithms and protocols is certainly promising, as showcased in a recent result with the first application of a quantum adder [6].…”

“…Additionally, recent works [28][29][30] have aimed at simulating closed timelike curves and replicating their re-sults. There has also been significant research on flow of information [31,32], causality considerations [33][34][35][36][37], no-go theorems [38], state preparation [39], and thermodynamic considerations [40] within CTCs. CTCs and entanglement [41][42][43][44] is an equally interesting avenue for research.…”
