Quantumlike Product States Constructed from Classical Networks

Can complex classical systems be designed to exhibit superpositions of tensor products of basis states, thereby mimicking quantum states? We exhibit a one-to-one map between the product basis of quantum states comprising an arbitrary number of qubits and the eigenstates of a construction comprising classical oscillator networks. Specifically, we prove the existence of this map based on Cartesian products of graphs, where the graphs depict the layout of oscillator networks. We show how quantumlike gates can act on the classical networks to allow quantumlike operations in the state space.

Abstract

Can complex classical systems be designed to exhibit superpositions of tensor products of basis states, thereby mimicking quantum states? We exhibit a one-to-one map between the product basis of quantum states comprising an arbitrary number of qubits and the eigenstates of a construction comprising classical oscillator networks. Specifically, we prove the existence of this map based on Cartesian products of graphs, where the graphs depict the layout of oscillator networks. We show how quantumlike gates can act on the classical networks to allow quantumlike operations in the state space.
