Abstract

Pseudopure “cat” state, a superposition of quantum states with all spins up and all spins down, is experimentally demonstrated for a system of 12 dipolar-coupled nuclear spins of fully C13-labeled benzene molecule oriented in a liquid-crystalline matrix.

Pseudopure state of a twelve-spin system

Jae‐Seung Lee, Anatoly K. Khitrin

Pseudopure states of a system of twelve interacting spins are experimentally demonstrated. The system is a cluster of dipolar-coupled nuclear spins of fully labeled (13)C(6)-benzene in a liquid crystalline matrix. At present, this is the largest and the most complex composite system where individual quantum states have been addressed.

Experimental Demonstration of Quantum State Expansion in a Cluster of Dipolar-Coupled Nuclear Spins

Jae‐Seung Lee, Anatoly K. Khitrin

It is experimentally demonstrated that an arbitrary quantum state of a single spin 1/2, a| upward arrow+b| downward arrow, can be converted into a superposition of the two ferromagnetic states of a spin cluster: a| upward arrow upward arrow... upward arrow upward arrow+b| downward arrow downward arrow... downward arrow downward arrow. The physical system is a cluster of seven dipolar-coupled nuclear spins of single-labeled 13C-benzene molecules in a liquid-crystalline matrix. In this complex system, the pseudopure ground state and the required controlled unitary transformations have been implemented. The experimental scheme can be considered as an explicit model of quantum measurement.
