CONSTRUCTION AND APPLICATION OF FOUR-QUBIT SWAP LOGIC GATE IN NMR QUANTUM COMPUTING

Ahmet Gün, İrfan Şaka, Azmi Gençten

In NMR quantum computing, spin states of spin-1/2 nuclei are called qubits. Quantum logic gates are represented by unitary matrices. As a universal gate, controlled-NOT (CNOT) is a two-qubit gate. For the IS (I = 1/2 and S = 1/2) spin system, two-qubit CNOT gate is represented by a 4 × 4 matrix. SWAP logic gate, which exchanges two quantum states, is constructed by CNOT gates. In this study, first, four-qubit CNOT gates are constructed for the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. Then, by using these CNOT gates, a four-qubit SWAP logic gate is found. As an application and verification, an obtained SWAP logic gate is applied to the matrix representation of product operators for the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. SWAP logic gate can also be presented by an NMR pulse sequence. By using the product operator theory, the pulse sequence of the SWAP logic gate is applied to product operators of the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. The expected exchange results are obtained for both the matrix representation and the pulse sequence of SWAP logic gate.

Generalized methods for the development of quantum logic gates for an NMR quantum information processor

Mark D. Price, Shyamal S. Somaroo, A. E. Dunlop +2 more

Logic gates such as the controlled-NOT (c-NOT) and Toffoli gates play a key role in quantum information processing (QIP) and quantum computing. A natural extension of such gates would necessarily operate on one quantum bit (qubit) conditional on the state of the remaining qubits in the system. We show that such selective gates, termed $(\mathrm{controlled}{)}^{n}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{NOT}$ gates, or ${\mathrm{c}}^{n}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{NOT}$ gates, are convenient in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) implementations of QIP and are straightforward to implement. NMR pulse sequences for these gates can be built using classical methods as well as insights from geometric algebra. These methods yield equivalent NMR pulse sequences for the generation of ${\mathrm{c}}^{n}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{NOT}$ gates for any number of control spins. In this work, a catalog of ${\mathrm{c}}^{n}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{NOT}$ gates for systems of as many as 16 spins is provided along with an experimental implementation of a ${\mathrm{c}}^{3}\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{N}\mathrm{O}\mathrm{T}$ gate on a four spin system, ${}^{13}\mathrm{C}$ alanine.
