الوصف: The dissipative character of an electromagnetic medium breaks the unitary evolution structure that is present in lossless, dispersive optical media. In dispersive media, dissipation appears in the Schrodinger representation of Maxwell equations as a sparse diagonal operator occupying an r-dimensional subspace. A first order Suzuki-Trotter approximation for the evolution operator enables us to isolate the non-unitary operators (associated with dissipation) from the unitary operators (associated with lossless media). The unitary operators can be implemented through qubit lattice algorithm (QLA) on n qubits, based on the discretization and the dimensionality of the pertinent fields. However, the non-unitary-dissipative part poses a challenge both physically and computationally on how it should be implemented on a quantum computer. In this paper, two dilation algorithms are considered for handling the dissipative operators. The first algorithm is based on treating the classical dissipation as a linear amplitude damping-type completely positive trace preserving (CPTP) quantum channel where an unspecified environment interacts with the system of interest and produces the non-unitary evolution. Therefore, the combined system-environment is now closed, and must undergo unitary evolution in the dilated space. The unspecified environment can be modeled by just one ancillary qubit, resulting in an implementation scaling of O(2n−1n2) elementary gates for the total system-environment unitary evolution operator. The second algorithm approximates the non-unitary operators by the Linear Combination of Unitaries (LCU). On exploiting the diagonal structure of the dissipation, we obtain an optimized representation of the non-unitary part, which requires O(2n) elementary gates. A connection of our results with the non-linear-in-normalization-only (NINO) quantum channels is also presented.
