Abstract

Pulsed Electron Nuclear DOuble Resonance (pulsed ENDOR) has been studied for realization of quantum algorithms, emphasizing the implementation of organic molecular entities with an electron spin and a nuclear spin for quantum information processing. The scheme has been examined in terms of quantum information processing. Particularly, superdense coding has been implemented from the experimental side and the preliminary results are represented as theoretical expectations.

Molecular electron-spin quantum computers and quantum information processing: pulse-based electron magnetic resonance spin technology applied to matter spin-qubits

Kazunobu Sato, Shigeaki Nakazawa, Robabeh Rahimi +15 more

Pulse-based Electron–Nuclear and ELectron–electron DOuble Resonance (ENDOR/ELDOR) techniques have been applied to molecular spins in order to implement ensemble electron spin-qubit based quantum computers/computing (QC) and quantum information processing (QIP) in the solid state. Pulsed ENDOR-based QC/QIP experiments for super dense coding (SDC) have for the first time been carried out by the use of molecular electron- and nuclear-spin entities such as the stable malonyl radical as matter spin-qubits. The spin-qubit manipulation technology for quantum gate operations in this work is based on the time-proportional-phase-increment (TPPI) technique, enabling us to distinguish between the phases of spin-qubit based entangled states. The TPPI technique, as firstly applied by Mehring et al. (M. Mehring, J. Mende and W. Scherer, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2003, 90, 153001), has illustrated the establishment of quantum entanglement between electron- and nuclear-spin states and mutual interconversion between the electron–nuclear Bell states. The electron-spin 4π-periodicity in phase shows up in the QC/QIP experiments, explicitly and experimentally illustrating the electron-spin spinor nature for the first time. Tripartite QC experiments have been made, showing the occurrence of separable states. Also, the development of novel electron-spin technology to manipulate multi-electron spin-qubits is described. In this work, the pulsed coherent-dual ELDOR for QC/QIP has for the first time been implemented by invoking a novel microwave dual phase-rotation technique. Thus, applications of the coherent-dual ELDOR to molecular electron spin-qubit systems are also discussed, emphasising designing the molecular two electron-qubit systems appropriate for QC/QIP. g- and/or hyperfine A-tensor engineering approaches give us the two- and multi-electron-qubit systems, which have been a materials challenge to implement matter spin-qubit based QC/QIP. The targeted matter spin-qubits can be used to facilitate selective resonant microwave excitations achieved by the pulsed ELDOR technique. In addition to DiVincenzo's five criteria, general requisites for scalable electron spin-qubit systems as 1D periodic robust spin structures are described. According to the requisites, double- or triple-stranded helicates embedding open-shell metal cations are proposed instead of organic molecular spin-qubits.

Studies on Entanglement in Nuclear and Electron Spin Systems for Quantum Computing

Robabeh Rahimi

In this work, we have been working on the concept of quantum entanglement. At first, we studied the theory of entanglement in its characterization and measurement, introducing a new scheme for detection of entanglement. The new approach links molecular-spin entities involving nuclear spins to quantum computing as more appropriate physical systems of interest. Then, we continued with the realization of entanglement in experiments. NMR has been the first choice due to its well approved advantages for quantum computing. NMR, however, has not been an appropriate system for demonstrating entangled states. Through a mathematical proof, NMR with low spin polarization has been invalidated for true implementations of non-local quantum algorithms, particularly supserdense coding. The point is that high spin polarization is inevitably required to acquire entanglement while in the current NMR it has been a formidable task to get highly polarized nuclear spins. In order to acquire high spin polarization, introducing electron spins can be much effective because of its three-order-of-magnitude larger gyromagnetic ratio compared to nuclear spins. Electron Nuclear DOuble Resonance (ENDOR) is spin manipulation technology that enables us to deal with both electron and nuclear spins. Thus, in this context, it can be more appropriate device for quantum computing. We emphasize that (pseudo)entanglement and interconversion between the entangled states have been realized with ENDOR on extremely stable organic molecular-spin entities. The required experimental conditions to obtain true quantum entanglement are also discussed. The appropriate entanglement witness for the corresponding ensemble quantum computing is introduced and examined.

Quantum computing using electron-nuclear double resonances

We consider the use of Electron-Nuclear Double Resonance (ENDOR) techniques in quantum computing. ENDOR resolution as a possible limiting factor is discussed. It is found that ENDOR and double-ENDOR techniques have sufficient resolution for quantum computing applications.

This paper describes recent progress using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a platform for implementing quantum information processing (QIP) tasks. The basic ideas of NMR QIP are detailed, examining the successes and limitations of liquid and solid state experiments. Finally, a future direction for implementing quantum processors is suggested,utilizing both nuclear and electron spin degrees of freedom.

QUANTUM INFORMATION PROCESSING BY NMR: PREPARATION OF PSEUDOPURE STATES AND IMPLEMENTATION OF UNITARY OPERATIONS IN A SINGLE-QUTRIT SYSTEM

Ranabir Das, Avik Mitra, Santosh Kumar +1 more

Theoretical Quantum Information Processing (QIP) has matured from the use of qubits to the use of qudits (systems having states >2). Whereas most of the experimental implementations have been performed using qubits, little experimental work has been carried out using qudits as yet. In this paper we demonstrate experimental realization of a qutrit system by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), utilizing deuterium (spin-1) nuclei partially oriented in liquid crystalline phase. Preparation of pseudopure states and implementation of unitary operations are demonstrated in this single-qutrit system, using transition selective pulses.
