Selective control of states of a three-level quadrupolar nucleus using non-selective radio-frequency pulses

Abstract

The scheme for obtaining the composite operator of the selective rotation from nonselective RF pulses separated by intervals of free evolution has been proposed for quadrupole nuclei. On an example of three levels, it has been shown that the rotation by this operator is performed with accuracy comparable with the accuracy of a simple selective RF pulse, but in shorter time.

Selective control of the states of multilevel quantum systems using nonselective rotation operators

V. E. Zobov, V. P. Shauro

We have calculated the sequences of nonselective rotation operators separated by intervals of free evolution that perform selective rotations between adjacent levels in systems with three, four, five, and six nonequidistant levels. We have numerically simulated the realization of the calculated sequences for quadrupole nuclei with corresponding spins controlled by intense nonselective radio-frequency (RF) pulses and investigated the dependences of the realization error on the parameters of external and internal interactions. To reduce the error when the RF field is not strong enough, we have found composite nonselective RF pulses consisting of five simple ones. We show that the error of the composite selective rotation operator can be reduced signifi- cantly in comparison to the error of a simple single selective pulse.

On time-optimal NMR control of states of qutrits represented by quadrupole nuclei with the spin I = 1

V. E. Zobov, V. P. Shauro

Elementary logical operators (selective rotation, Fourier transform, controllable phase shift, and SUM gate) are considered for a quantum computer based on three-level systems (qutrits) represented by nuclear spins I = 1 under nuclear magnetic resonance conditions. The computer simulation of the realization of these operators by means of simple and composite selective radiofrequency (RF) pulses and optimized RF pulses is performed. The time dependence of the amplitude of last pulses is found by numerical optimization at different durations. Two variants are proposed for realization of a two-qutrit SUM gate by using one-qutrit or two-qutrit optimized RF pulses. The calculated time dependences of realization errors were used to study the time optimality of different methods for obtaining gates, proposed earlier and in this paper. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the methods are evaluated for different values of physical parameters.

Quantum-state tomography for quadrupole nuclei and its application on a two-qubit system

Fábio Aurélio Bonk, Roberto S. Sarthour, Eduardo Ribeiro DeAzevedo +6 more

A method for performing quantum state tomography for quadrupole nuclei is presented in this paper. First, it is shown that upon appropriate phase cycling, the nuclear-magnetic-resonance (NMR) intensities of quadrupole nuclei depend only on diagonal elements of the density-matrix. Thus, a method for obtaining the density-matrix elements, which consists of dragging off-diagonal elements into the main diagonal using fine phase-controlled selective radio-frequency pulses, was derived. The use of the method is exemplified through $^{23}\mathrm{Na}$ NMR (nuclear spin $I=3∕2$) in a lyotropic liquid crystal at room temperature, in three applications: (a) the tomography of pseudopure states, (b) the tomography of the quadrupole free evolution of the density matrix, and (c) the unitary state evolution of each qubit in the system over the Bloch sphere upon the application of a Hadamard gate. Further applications in the context of pure NMR and in the context of quantum information processing, as well as generalizations for higher spins, are discussed.

Feedback-Based Quantum Control of Nuclei Spin in Ensembles

Vishesh Kaushik, Navin Khaneja

In this paper, we present a feedback-based framework for controlling the evolution of quantum spin states of nuclei within an ensemble. This approach allows for the selective excitation of nuclear spin states within specific pass bands of Larmor frequencies while leaving the nuclei outside the pass bands undisturbed. The control input sequence is designed in simulation and implemented using radio frequency pulses in the real system.

Quantum state tomography for quadrupolar nuclei using global rotations of the spin system

J. Teles, Eduardo Ribeiro DeAzevedo, R. Auccaise +3 more

In this paper, we describe a quantum state tomography method based on global rotations of the spin system which, together with a coherence selection scheme, enables the complete density matrix reconstruction. The main advantage of this technique, in respect to previous proposals, is the use of much shorter rf pulses, which decreases significantly the time necessary for algorithm quantum state tomography. In this case, under adequate experimental conditions, the rf pulses correspond to simple spatial rotations of the spin states, and its analytical description is conveniently given in the irreducible tensor formalism. Simulated results show the feasibility of the method for a single spin 72 nucleus. As an experimental result, we exemplify the application of this method by tomographing the steps during the implementation of the Deutsch algorithm. The algorithm was implemented in a (23)Na quadrupole nucleus using the strongly modulated pulses technique. We also extended the tomography method for a 3-coupled homonuclear spin 12 system, where an additional evolution under the internal Hamiltonian is necessary for zero order coherences evaluation.
