Abstract

We investigate numerically a single-electromagnetic-pulse implementation of a quantum control-not (CN) gate for an ensemble of Ising spin systems at room temperature. For an ensemble of four-spin ``molecules'' we simulate the time evolution of the density matrix for both digital and superpositional initial conditions. Our numerical calculations confirm the feasibility of implementation of a quantum CN gate in this system at finite temperature, using a single electromagnetic \ensuremath{\pi} pulse. We also study the quantum dynamics of creating entangled states in a macroscopic paramagnetic spin system at low temperatures, and compare the related quantum and corresponding classical dynamics. In the quantum case, one can create entangled states using a resonant interaction between the spin system and the electromagnetic \ensuremath{\pi} pulse. In the classical limit, the interaction of the spin system with the same pulse becomes nonresonant and the corresponding classical dynamics differs significantly from the quantum dynamics. This difference in the behavior of the macroscopic magnetization can be used in experiments as an indication of the existence of entangled states.

We study numerically the non-resonant effects on four-spin molecules at room temperature with the implemented quantum controlled-not gate and using the 2π k method. The four nuclear spins in each molecule represent a four-qubit register. The qubits interact with each other through Ising-type interaction which is characterized by the coupling constant J a , b . We study the errors on the reduced density matrix as a function of the Rabi frequency, Ω, using the 2π k method and when all the coupling constants are equal or when one of them is different from the others.

Dynamics of a Control-Not gate for a quantum system of two weakly interacting spins

Abstract We present the results of computer simulations of dynamics of the quantum Control-Not gate for the system of two spins connected by a weak Ising interaction. It is demonstrated that, for both “digital” and “superposition” initial conditions, 3 resonant π-pulse can provide an adequate implementation of the quantum Control-Not gate. We also consider the influence of slightly non-resonant π-pulse and noise on the dynamics of the quantum Control-Not gate.

Numerical simulation of a Controlled-Controlled-Not (CCN) quantum gate in a chain of three interacting nuclear spins system

Gustavo V. López, Lorena Lara

We present the study of a quantum Controlled-Controlled-Not gate, implemented in a chain of three nuclear spins weakly Ising interacting between all of them, that is, taking into account first and second neighbor spin interactions. This implementation is done using a single resonant $\\pi$-pulse on the initial state of the system (digital and superposition). The fidelity parameter is used to determine the behavior of the CCN quantum gate as a function of the ratio of the second neighbor interaction coupling constant to the first neighbor interaction coupling constant ($J'/J$). We found that for $J'/J\\ge 0.02$ we can have a well defined CCN quantum gate.

Ensemble based quantum memory and adiabatic phase gates in electron spins

Quantum computing has been a new and challenging area of research since the concept was put forward in 1980s. A quantum computer is a computer that processes information encoded in systems that exhibit quantum properties and is proved in theory to be more powerful than classical computers. Various approaches to the implementation of the quantum computers have been studied over the decades, each of them having their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of the lifetime of the quantum information, processing time, and scalability of the implementation. Proposals for hybrid quantum processors are interesting because they benefit from the advantages of each comprising system, and thus providing a promising approach to a practical quantum computer.In this thesis, I demonstrate experimentally the principle of utilizing electron spin ensembles as a quantum memory for hybrid quantum processors. I demonstrate the storage and on-demand retrieval of multiple bits of quantum information into and from a single electron spin ensemble by applying magnetic field gradient pulses. I then study the coupling between an electron spin ensemble and a three-dimensional microwave cavity, in the aim of discussing the condition for the coherent information transfer between the excitations in solid-state matter and photons. As an alternative to the high power pulses in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), I study the possibility of controlling the electron spin states via adiabatic processes. I demonstrate the implementation of adiabatic geometric phase gates in electron spins and compare their performances to other phase gates achieved with microwave pulses in both simulation and experiment, verifying the robustness of the adiabatic gates against certain type of noises. Finally I present the simulation method developed for simulating the pulsed EPR experiments in this thesis, using a model more general than some currently-existing simulation packages.
