Proper magnetic fields for nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates in NMR
Kazuto Oshima, Koji Azuma
Abstract
In a scheme of nonadiabatic purely geometric quantum gates in nuclear-magnetic-resonance systems we propose proper magnitudes of magnetic fields that are suitable for an experiment. We impose a natural condition and reduce the degree of freedom of the magnetic fields to the extent. By varying the magnetic fields with essentially a one-dimensional degree of freedom, any spin state can acquire an arbitrary purely geometric phase ${\ensuremath{\varphi}}_{g}=\ensuremath{-}2\ensuremath{\pi}(1\ensuremath{-}\mathrm{cos}\ensuremath{\theta}),$ $0<~\mathrm{cos}\ensuremath{\theta}<~1.$ This is an essential ingredient for constructing universal geometric quantum gates.
