Entanglement in nuclear quadrupole resonance
Entangled quantum states are an important element of quantum information
techniques. We determine the requirements for states of quadrupolar nuclei with
spins >1/2 to be entangled. It was shown that entanglement is achieved at low
temperature by applying a magnetic field to a quadrupolar nuclei possess
quadrupole moments, which interacts with the electricfield gradient produced by
the charge distribution in their surroundings.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Quantum Simulation of Tunneling in Small Systems
A number of quantum algorithms have been performed on small quantum
computers; these include Shor's prime factorization algorithm, error
correction, Grover's search algorithm and a number of analog and digital
quantum simulations. Because of the number of gates and qubits necessary,
however, digital quantum particle simulations remain untested. A contributing
factor to the system size required is the number of ancillary qubits needed to
implement matrix exponentials of the potential operator. Here, we show that a
set of tunneling problems may be investigated with no ancillary qubits and a
cost of one single-qubit operator per time step for the potential evolution. We
show that physically interesting simulations of tunneling using 2 qubits (i.e.
on 4 lattice point grids) may be performed with 40 single and two-qubit gates.
Approximately 70 to 140 gates are needed to see interesting tunneling dynamics
in three-qubit (8 lattice point) simulations.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
