Abstract

The physical basis of the method of implementing quantum logical operations in a continuous microwave field in a system of two electrons with different g-factors and a constant exchange interaction is developed. A small variable additive Δ B ( t ) to the magnetic field is proposed as a control action. It is obtained that a simple functional dependence Δ B ( t ), based on harmonic functions, allows us to perform elementary quantum logical operations and their sequences. This method is adapted to the experimental conditions.

We propose a method that implements a universal set of one- and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation in a system of coupled electron pairs with constant non-diagonal exchange interaction. In our proposal, suppression of the exchange interaction is performed by the continual repetition of single-spin rotations. A small g-factor difference between the electrons allows for addressing qubits and avoiding strong magnetic field pulses. Numerical experiments were performed to show that, to implement the one- and two-qubit operations, it is sufficient to change the strength of the magnetic field by a few Gauss. This introduces one and then the other electron in a resonance. To determine the evolution of the two-qubit system, we use the algorithms of optimal control theory.

IMPLEMENTATION OF QUANTUM LOGIC OPERATIONS AND CREATION OF ENTANGLEMENT BETWEEN TWO NUCLEAR SPIN QUBITS WITH CONSTANT INTERACTION

G. P. Berman, Geoffrey W. Brown, M. E. Hawley +2 more

We describe how to implement quantum logic operations in a silicon-based quantum computer with phosphorus atoms serving as qubits. The information is stored in the states of nuclear spins and the conditional logic operations are implemented through the electron spins using nuclear–electron hyperfine and electron–electron exchange interactions. The electrons in our computer should stay coherent only during implementation of one Controlled-NOT gate. The exchange interaction is constant, and selective excitations are provided by a magnetic field gradient. The quantum logic operations are implemented by rectangular radio-frequency pulses. This architecture is scalable and does not require manufacturing nanoscale electronic gates. As shown in this paper, parameters of a quantum protocol can be derived analytically even for a computer with a large number of qubits using our perturbation approach. We present the protocol for initialization of the nuclear spins and the protocol for creation of entanglement. All analytical results are tested numerically using a two-qubit system.

The implementation of quantum computing operations with phase modulated microwave pulses and high-spin ions at zero magnetic fields

M. R. Arifullin, Berdinskiy V. L

New physical implementations of quantum computing elementary operations by pulse manipulations with electron spins of paramagnetic ions having two electrons and spin S=1 in a zero magnetic field are proposed. New type of microwave pulses with variable phases and different polarizations are able to induce different transitions between ion spin states, and those transitions are described by quantum computing operators. To describe the effects of such pulses, a new way to present exponential operators as polynomials of Pauli matrices is proposed.

Scheme for Quantum Computing Immune to Decoherence

Colin P. Williams, Farrokh Vatan

A constructive scheme has been devised to enable mapping of any quantum computation into a spintronic circuit in which the computation is encoded in a basis that is, in principle, immune to quantum decoherence. The scheme is implemented by an algorithm that utilizes multiple physical spins to encode each logical bit in such a way that collective errors affecting all the physical spins do not disturb the logical bit. The scheme is expected to be of use to experimenters working on spintronic implementations of quantum logic. Spintronic computing devices use quantum-mechanical spins (typically, electron spins) to encode logical bits. Bits thus encoded (denoted qubits) are potentially susceptible to errors caused by noise and decoherence. The traditional model of quantum computation is based partly on the assumption that each qubit is implemented by use of a single two-state quantum system, such as an electron or other spin-1.2 particle. It can be surprisingly difficult to achieve certain gate operations . most notably, those of arbitrary 1-qubit gates . in spintronic hardware according to this model. However, ironically, certain 2-qubit interactions (in particular, spin-spin exchange interactions) can be achieved relatively easily in spintronic hardware. Therefore, it would be fortunate if it were possible to implement any 1-qubit gate by use of a spin-spin exchange interaction. While such a direct representation is not possible, it is possible to achieve an arbitrary 1-qubit gate indirectly by means of a sequence of four spin-spin exchange interactions, which could be implemented by use of four exchange gates. Accordingly, the present scheme provides for mapping any 1-qubit gate in the logical basis into an equivalent sequence of at most four spin-spin exchange interactions in the physical (encoded) basis. The complexity of the mathematical derivation of the scheme from basic quantum principles precludes a description within this article; it must suffice to report that the derivation provides explicit constructions for finding the exchange couplings in the physical basis needed to implement any arbitrary 1-qubit gate. These constructions lead to spintronic encodings of quantum logic that are more efficient than those of a previously published scheme that utilizes a universal but fixed set of gates.
