On Generalized Quantum Turing Machine and Its Applications.

Ohya and Volovich discussed a quantum algorithm for the SAT problem with a chaos amplification process (OMV SAT algorithm) and showed that the number of steps it performed was polynomial in input size. In this paper, we define a generalized quantum Turing machine (GQTM) and related computational complexity. Then we show that there exists a GQTM which recognizes the SAT problem in polynomial time. Moreover, we discuss the problem of finding the quantum algorithm for a partial recursive function. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
