Abstract
The measurement of the nuclear spin state in the Kane's solid-state quantum computer was investigated for a simple two-qubit system. To simplify the calculations, the Hamiltonian matrix was divided into five invariant subspaces based on the projection of the total spins along the external magnetic field. The calculations analyzed the relations between the eigenvalues and eigenstates of the Hamiltonian matrix and the interactions between the two electrons. The results show that measurement of the nuclear spin state by exchanging the nuclear and election spin wave functions is restricted. Only four of the sixteen possible states in a two-qubit system can be measured using this method.
