Delocalized Qubits as a Computational Basis in the System of Interacting Spins

Abstract

It is suggested to map the qubits into solid state NMR spin system collective states instead of the states of the individual spin. Such an approach introduces the stable computational basis without any additional actions and allows to obtain the universal set of quantum gates, which operation time is determined only by a RF pulse duration.

Coding of the quantum information on virtual qubits

A. R. Kessel, Vladimir L. Ermakov

One qubit is mapped to two level system in the standard model of quantum computation: a typical example is a spin-1/2 system. Further progress requires the use of network of multilevel quantum systems of different physical origin in solids: optical levels, large or strong interacting spins etc. We propose virtual qubit formalism and show how the quantum objects state space can be used as a basis for multiqubit information recording and processing in a quantum computer. It is suggested to map the qubits into solid state NMR spin system collective states instead of the state of the individual spin. Such an approach introduces the stable computational basis without any additional actions and allows to obtain the universal set of quantum gates, which operation time is determined only by the RF pulses.

Stabilization of Quantum Computer Calculation Basis by Qubit Encoding in Virtual Spin Representation

A. R. Kessel

It is proposed to map the quantum information qubit not to individual spin 1/2 states, but to the collective spin states being eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian including spin-spin interactions, which may be not small. Such an approach allows to introduce more stable calculation basis for quantum computer based on the solid state NMR systems.

Some prospects for ensemble solid-state NMR quantum computers

A. A. Kokin, K. A. Valiev

As an ensemble scheme of solid-state NMR quantum computers the extension of Kane's many-qubits silicon scheme based on the array of 31 P donor atoms are spaced lengthwise of the strip gates is considered. The possible planar topology of such ensemble quantum computer is suggested. The estimation of the output NMR signal was performed and it was shown that for the number N>=10^5 of ensemble elements involving L~10^3 qubits each, the standard NMR methods are usable. As main mechanisms of decoherence for low temperature (<0.1K), the adiabatic processes of random modulation of qubit resonance frequency determined by secular part of nuclear spin hyperfine interaction with electron magnetic moment of basic atom and dipole-dipole interaction with nuclear moments of neighboring impurity atoms was considered, It was made estimations of allowed concentrations of magnetic impurities and of spin temperature whereby the required decoherence suppression is obtained. Semiclassical decoherence model of two qubit entangled states is also presented. As another variant of the solid-state ensemble quantum computer, the gateless architecture of cellular-automaton with antiferromagnetically ordered electron spins is also discussed here.

Virtual qubits: Multilevels instead of multiparticles

A. R. Kesel’, Vladimir L. Ermakov

The possibility of using multilevel quantum systems with a discrete nonequidistant spectrum for the physical implementation of a universal collection of quantum gates, which is required for constructing an arbitrary algorithm for a quantum computer, is studied on the basis of the proposed virtual-spin formalism. It is shown that such a set of gates, including two-qubit gates, can be constructed on a single spin-3/2 nucleus. The assertion that three-qubit gates can also be realized on a single spin-7/2 quantum particle is substantiated.

Use of pairs of pseudopure states for NMR quantum computing

B. M. Fung

The premise of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) quantum computing is that pseudopure quantum states, for which the populations of all energy levels but one are equal, can be used instead of pure quantum states. However, for systems with a large number of quantum bits (qubits), it would require elaborate pulse sequences with many steps to prepare these pseudopure states. To overcome this problem, a method using pairs of pseudopure states (POPS) instead of individual pseudopure states as the basis for NMR quantum computing is introduced here. The POPS approach has a significant advantage over the existing methods that, regardless of the number of qubits, only a single step is needed to prepare each pair of pseudopure states. A detailed analysis of a 16-level spin system is given, and the results of applying a ${c}^{2}$-NOT quantum logic gate (a controlled-NOT gate conditional upon the state of two other qubits) to all the POPS in the system are presented.

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.
