Abstract Physical realization of controlled NOT quantum gate is addressed as a control problem for the system of two interacting spins. The control is carried out by magnetic pulses acting on the spins. The shapes of the appropriate magnetic pulses are computed
We propose an implementation of the two-qubit gate in a quantum dot spin qubit system which is immune to charge noise problems. Our proposed implementation, if it could be realized in a physical system, would have the advantage of being robust against uncertainties and fluctuations in the tunnel coupling and barrier gate voltage pulse area. The key idea is to introduce an auxiliary dot and use an analog to the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage pulse sequence in three-level atomic systems, often referred to in the context of electron transport in quantum dot systems as Coherent Tunneling by Adiabatic Passage. Spin-dependent tunneling opens the possibility of performing two-qubit gate operations by this method.
We investigate a Heisenberg spin cluster with two particles controlled by a time-dependent magnetic field. The system is controlled by tuning the amplitude, frequency, and interaction time of the three-step time-dependent magnetic field. Then we solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation of the two-particle system, and obtain the time evolution operator. By the three-timestep interaction, the wavefunction evolves from the initial state to the final state, and the total evolution operator can be expressed as a product of the three evolution operators. By adjusting the physical parameters, the key two-qubit logic gate, the C-Not gate, can be realized physically.
We study the low energy states of one-dimensional spin chain clusters consisting of three spin-1/2 Heisenberg particles. When applying an external magnetic field on the spin chain cluster, the ground state doublet will generate Zeeman splitting. As a two-level quantum system, the split ground state doublet can be defined as a new 'spin cluster qubit'. The cluster quibit is shown to be more robust with a smaller decoherence rate. We realize universal single-qubit gates with the algebraic dynamical method, by applying a time-dependent magnetic field on the spin cluster. We also investigate a two-qubit system made up of two such Heisenberg spin chain clusters which interact through a tunable Heisenberg coupling. In the two-qubit product basis, the controlled quantum phase gates can be generated by applying a magnetic field along the z-axis on the system of the two clusters. One can realize the controlled-NOT gate through a three-step time evolution by adjusting the corresponding physical parameters. Our scheme involves two kinds of dynamically distinct operations, which is much simpler and more feasible.
We study a 2-qubit spin model for the possibility of realizing an arbitrary geometric quantum phase gate in terms of a single coherent magnetic pulse with multi-harmonic frequency. Using resonant transition approximation, the time-dependent Hamiltonian of two coupled spins can be solved analytically. The time evolution of the wave function is obtained without adiabatic approximation. The parameters of magnetic pulse, such as the frequency, amplitude, phase of each harmonic part as well as the time duration of the pulse are determined for achieving an arbitrary non-adiabatic geometric phase gate. The requirement of materials for realizing such a gate is analyzed. As a result, the non-adiabatic geometric controlled phase gates and A–A phase are also addressed.
We propose a scheme to realize a controlled-NOT quantum logic gate in a dimer of exchange coupled single-molecule magnets, [Mn 4 ] 2 . We chosen the ground state and the three low-lying excited states of a dimer in a finite longitudinal magnetic field as the quantum computing bases and introduced a pulsed transverse magnetic field with a special frequency. The pulsed transverse magnetic field induces the transitions between the quantum computing bases so as to realize a controlled-NOT quantum logic gate. The transition rates between a pair of the four quantum computing bases and between the quantum computing bases and excited states are evaluated and analysed.
