A Perspective on Whether Robot Localization Can be Effectively Simulated by Quantum Mechanics

摘要

This paper is a theoretical concept that presents a perspective on whether quantum mechanics can be used for robot localization by using concepts of particle filter and quantum computation. A system is made of particles and particle filter is a sequence of algorithms for estimating a state of system. It is a way of taking variable of interest about something you are trying to measure, and whittling those guesses down by using measurements from sensors. Quantum mechanics has the power of atoms. It provides a mean of obtaining information about a system in a micro world associated with various attributes. Quantum states are linear super position of its components states and particles exist in linear combination of superposition. By using quantum power, I propose a new algorithm of particle filter and also its limitation.
