They create quantum artificial life in the cloud







The research group Quantum Technologies for Information Science (QUTIS), led by Professor Ikerbasque Enrique Solano of the Department of Physical Chemistry of the UPV / EHU (Spain) has developed a quantum biomimetic protocol that reproduces the characteristic processes of Darwinian evolution, adapted to the language of algorithms and quantum computing. Researchers predict that in the future the self-learning of machines, artificial intelligence and artificial life on a quantum scale will be combined.



In an artificial life scenario, it would be the case that models of simple organisms would be able to experience the different stages of life in a controlled virtual environment. This is what the QUTIS research group of the Department of Physical Chemistry of the UPV / EHU has designed, but in a scenario of quantum computers: an artificial life protocol, which encodes quantum behaviors typical of living systems, such as self-replication, mutation, the interaction between individuals, the birth, death, and has executed it in the quantum computer in IBM ibmqx4 cloud.



It is the first experimental realization of a quantum algorithm of artificial life following the evolutionary laws of Darwin in a quantum computer. The algorithm follows a protocol called by biomimetic researchers, which encodes quantum behaviors adapted to the same behaviors of living systems. Quantum biomimicry consists of reproducing in some quantum systems some exclusive properties of living beings, and this research group had previously been able to imitate life, natural selection, learning and memory through quantum systems. The objective of this research is, as reported by the authors themselves, "to design a series of quantum algorithms based on the imitation of biological processes, which occur in complex organisms, and take them to the quantum scale, so we only try to imitate the key aspects of these processes ".

In the artificial life scenario they have designed, a series of simple organism models are able to carry out the most common phases of life in a controlled virtual environment, and have proven that microscopic quantum systems can encode quantum characteristics and behaviors biological factors that are normally associated with living systems and natural selection.



The designed organism models have been coined as units of quantum life, each of which is composed of two cubits, which act as genotype and phenotype, respectively, and where the genotype contains the information that describes the type of living unit. , and this information is transmitted from generation to generation, while the phenotype, the characteristics that individuals show, are determined both by genetic information and by the interaction of the individuals themselves with the environment.



The basic characteristics of the Darwinian evolution that have simulated with these systems, to be able to consider them as organisms of artificial life, have been the birth and its evolution, the self-replication, the interaction between the individuals and the environment, which is degrading the phenotype of the The individual is progressing in age, and ends in a state that represents death. The protocol also considers the interaction between individuals, as well as mutations, which materialize in random rotations of individual cubits.



This experimental test represents the consolidation of the theoretical framework of quantum artificial life in an evolutionary sense, but as they scale the model to more complex systems, they can "perform more precise quantum emulations with increasing complexity towards quantum supremacy", as they comment the authors.



In the same way, they hope that these artificial life units and their possible applications have profound implications in the community of quantum simulation and quantum computing in diversity of quantum platforms, whether trapped ions, photonic systems, neutral atoms or superconducting circuits. According to Enrique Solano, director of the QUTIS group and leader of this project, "the foundations have been laid for considering different levels of classical and quantum complexity. For example, one could consider the growth of populations of quantum individuals with gender criteria, their individual and collective life goals, automated behaviors without external control, quantum robotics processes, intelligent quantum systems, to the point of exceeding the threshold of supremacy. quantum where only a quantum computer could arrive. From there arise terribly risky questions such as conjecturing the microscopic origin of life itself, the intelligent development of individuals and their societies, or considering the origin of animal and human consciousness and creativity. This is just the beginning, we are at the beginning of the 21st century and we will have many fantastic dreams and questions that we can answer. " (Source: UPV / EHU)
