NMR quantum computation

Scalable NMR Quantum Computation

Nuclear magnetic resonance offers an appealing prospect for implementation of quantum computers, because of the long coherence times associated with nuclear spins, and extensive laboratory experience in manipulating the spins with radio frequency pulses. Existing proposals, however, suffer from a signal-to-noise ratio that decays exponentially in the number of qubits in the quantum computer. Th...

Quantum Computation with NMR

A novice seeking to understand Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Quantum Computation (NMR QC) faces a formidable task. Not only is it necessary to master two new fields (NMR and QC), but many of the early papers in the field are unusually difficult to understand. Part of this opacity is, no doubt, due to the speed with which the early manuscripts were written, but an even more important cause was the ...

NMR quantum computation with indirectly coupled gates

An NMR realization of a two-qubit quantum gate which processes quantum information indirectly via couplings to a spectator qubit is presented in the context of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. This enables a successful comprehensive NMR implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for functions with three argument bits and demonstrates a technique essential for multi-qubit quantum computation.
