Abstract

We propose a nuclear-spin quantum computer based on magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). It is shown that an MRFM single-electron spin measurement provides three essential requirements for quantum computation in solids: (a) preparation of the ground state, (b) one- and two-qubit quantum logic gates, and (c) a measurement of the final state. The proposed quantum computer can operate at temperatures up to 1 K.

Quantum computation in a one-dimensional crystal lattice with NMR force microscopy

A proposal for a scalable, solid-state implementation of a quantum computer is presented. Qubits are fluorine nuclear spins in a solid crystal of fluorapatite [Ca_5 F(PO_4)_3] with resonant frequencies separated by a large field gradient. Quantum logic is accomplished using nuclear-nuclear dipolar couplings with decoupling and selective recoupling RF pulse sequences. Magnetic resonance force microscopy is used for readout. As many as 300 qubits can be implemented in the laboratory extremes of T=10 mK and B_0=20 T with the existing sensitivity of force microscopy.

We propose a solid-state nuclear-spin quantum computer based on application of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and well-developed silicon technology. It requires the measurement of tunneling-current modulation caused by the Larmor precession of a single electron spin. Our envisioned STM quantum computer would operate at the high magnetic field (approximately 10 T) and at low temperature approximately 1 K.

A Qubit Represented by the Oscillator’s Quantum States in Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy

Panayiotis Christou, V. I. Tsifrinovich

We consider magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) in the situation when the frequency of the electron spin resonance matches the fundamental frequency of the cantilever with a ferromagnetic particle attached to its tip. We suggest that in this situation, the quantum states of the oscillating cantilever may represent a qubit. We develop a scheme for manipulation with the qubit state and derive the expression describing the Rabi oscillations of the qubit.

Realistic simulations of single-spin nondemolition measurement by magnetic resonance force microscopy

Todd A. Brun, Hsi‐Sheng Goan

A requirement for many quantum computation schemes is the ability to measure single spins. This paper examines one proposed scheme: magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM), including the effects of thermal noise and back action from monitoring. We derive a simplified equation using the adiabatic approximation and produce a stochastic pure state unraveling which is useful for numerical simulations. We also calculate the signal-to-noise ratio for single-spin measurement by MRFM, using a quantum Langevin equation approach.

Quantum state engineering with spins

Andreas Heidebrecht, Jens Mende, M. Mehring

Abstract Magnetic resonance methods and in particular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance in the liquid state were the first experimental techniques to implement quantum computing algorithms. The main drawbacks of these methods sofar have been the highly mixed nature of the quantum states and scalability issues. Recently, efforts have been made to address these problems by applying magnetic resonance to solid state systems at lower temperatures. In this contribution, we give an overview of our results on accurately controlling and measuring the quantum state of spin systems in the liquid and in particular in the solid state at low temperatures using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Electron Spin Resonance.
