Experimental Implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm for Three-Qubit Functions using Rovibrational Molecular Wave Packets Representation

Abstract

The Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm is experimentally demonstrated for three-qubit functions using pure coherent superpositions of Li$_{2}$ rovibrational eigenstates. The function's character, either constant or balanced, is evaluated by first imprinting the function, using a phase-shaped femtosecond pulse, on a coherent superposition of the molecular states, and then projecting the superposition onto an ionic final state, using a second femtosecond pulse at a specific time delay.

Rovibrational wave-packet manipulation using shaped midinfrared femtosecond pulses toward quantum computation: Optimization of pulse shape by a genetic algorithm

Masaaki Tsubouchi, Takamasa Momose

We have numerically examined optimization of the experimentally achievable shapes of mid-infrared femtosecond laser pulses to construct elementary quantum gates using molecular rovibrational states of a single molecule. Instead of optimizing the electric field by optimal control theory, the method generally used in theoretical studies of coherent control, the transmittance and the phase shift of conventional pulse shapers were optimized in the frequency domain by a genetic algorithm. The target molecular system we examined was the rotation-vibration states of CO in the $X({^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{+})$ ground electronic state. Although the existence of the rotational degrees of freedom makes the quantum gate operation complicated, high fidelity of over 0.95 was achieved for one-rovibrational-qubit systems, which indicates that a molecular quantum computer may be feasible for at least one-qubit calculations on a diatomic molecule. On the other hand, two-qubit calculations are more difficult to achieve in a single CO molecule using rotational and vibrational degrees of freedom as different qubits. The importance of the control of the rotational in addition to the vibrational wave packet in order to realize a molecular quantum computer is discussed.

An implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm on a three-qubit NMR quantum computer

N Linden H Barjat R Freeman

A new approach to the implementation of a quantum computer by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is described. The key feature is that two or more line-selective radio-frequency pulses are applied simultaneously. A three-qubit quantum computer has been investigated using the 400 MHz NMR spectrum of the three coupled protons in 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid. It has been employed to implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for distinguishing between constant and balanced functions. The extension to systems containing more coupled spins is straightforward and does not require a more protracted experiment.

An Implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm on Molecular Vibronic Coherences Through Four-Wave Mixing: a Theoretical Study

Zsolt Bihary, David R. Glenn, Daniel A. Lidar +1 more

Time-Frequency Resolved Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (TFRCARS) was recently proposed as a means to implement quantum logic using the molecular ro-vibrational manifold as a quantum register [R. Zadoyan et al., Chem. Phys. 266, (2001) 323]. We give a concrete example of how this can be accomplished through an illustrative algorithm that solves the Deutsch-Jozsa problem. We use realistic molecular parameters to recognize that, as the problem size expands, shaped pulses must be tailored to maintain fidelity of the algorithm.

Vibrational molecular quantum computing: Basis set independence and theoretical realization of the Deutsch–Jozsa algorithm

Carmen M. Tesch, Regina de Vivie‐Riedle

The phase of quantum gates is one key issue for the implementation of quantum algorithms. In this paper we first investigate the phase evolution of global molecular quantum gates, which are realized by optimally shaped femtosecond laser pulses. The specific laser fields are calculated using the multitarget optimal control algorithm, our modification of the optimal control theory relevant for application in quantum computing. As qubit system we use vibrational modes of polyatomic molecules, here the two IR-active modes of acetylene. Exemplarily, we present our results for a Pi gate, which shows a strong dependence on the phase, leading to a significant decrease in quantum yield. To correct for this unwanted behavior we include pressure on the quantum phase in our multitarget approach. In addition the accuracy of these phase corrected global quantum gates is enhanced. Furthermore we could show that in our molecular approach phase corrected quantum gates and basis set independence are directly linked. Basis set independence is also another property highly required for the performance of quantum algorithms. By realizing the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm in our two qubit molecular model system, we demonstrate the good performance of our phase corrected and basis set independent quantum gates.

Implementation of the refined Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm on a three-bit NMR quantum computer

Jae‐Hyun Kim, Jae‐Seung Lee, Soonchil Lee +1 more

We implemented the refined Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm on a three-bit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum computer. All of the balanced and constant functions were realized exactly. The results agree well with theoretical predictions and clearly distinguish the balanced functions from constant functions. Efficient refocusing schemes were proposed for the soft z pulse and J coupling, and it is shown that the thermal equilibrium state gives the same answer as the pure state for this algorithm.
