Abstract

We propose an approach to measure the quantum phase of an electron in a non-Abelian system using the algorithm of Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE). The discrete-path systems were previously studied in the context of square or rectangular rings. Present focus is on measuring the quantum phases. The merit of the algorithm approach is two-fold. First off, it eliminates the need for an interferometric set up. Quantum phase is measured by reading off of measurable qubit states of the QPE modules. Secondly, the QPE works by subjecting the quantum state to a sequence of quantum computing operations that eventually map the phase information into measurable qubit states. All the operations are realizable by standard quantum computer gates and algorithms, placing the new effort within the reach of standard quantum computational framework.
