چکیده

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.

Pseudopure state of a twelve-spin system.

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.

Exploring large coherent spin systems with solid state NMR

Solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) allows us to explore a large coherent spin system and provides an ideal test-bed for studying strongly interacting multiplespin system in a large Hilbert space. In this thesis, we experimentally investigate the spin dynamics in a rigid lattice of dipolarly coupled nuclear spins using multiple quantum NMR spectroscopy. Encoding multiple quantum cohere...

Dipolar coupled homonuclear spins present challenging, yet useful systems for quantum information processing. In such systems, eigenbasis of the system Hamiltonian is the appropriate computational basis and coherent control can be achieved by specially designed strongly modulating pulses. In this letter we describe the first experimental implementation of the quantum algorithm for numerical gra...

Nuclear Spins as Quantum Memory in Semiconductor Nanostructures

We theoretically consider the possibility of using solid state nuclear spins in a semiconductor nanostructure environment as long-lived quantum memory. In particular, we calculate, in the limit of a strong applied magnetic field, the quantum coherence time for P donor nuclear spins in random bath environments of Si and GaAs, and the lifetime of excited intrinsic spins in polarized Si and GaAs e...

Ensemble quantum-information processing by NMR: Implementation of gates and the creation of pseudopure states using dipolar coupled spins as qubits

Quantum-information processing is carried out using dipolar coupled spins and high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance ~NMR!. The systems chosen are the dipolar coupled methyl protons of CH3CN partially oriented in a liquid crystalline matrix yielding a two-qubit system and dipolar coupled C and methyl protons of CH3CN also partially oriented in the liquid crystalline matrix, yielding a three...
