In this set of experiments, the self-replication consists in duplicating the expectation value of σz in the genotype, in a blank state that will be transformed in the genotype of the individual in the next generation19. The process is completed by copying again σz of the new genotype in another blank state that will be transformed in the phenotype of the new individual. The next subprotocol in the algorithm is the interaction between the individuals and the environment, which emulates the aging of living units until an asymptotic state that represents its death.
an operation that entangles either the genotype or the phenotype with a blank state and copies a certain expectation value of the original qubit in both of the outcome qubits.
