Schemes of implementation in NMR of quantum processors and Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm by using virtual spin representation
Schemes of experimental realization of the main two qubit processors for
quantum computers and Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm are derived in virtual spin
representation. The results are applicable for every four quantum states
allowing the required properties for quantum processor implementation if for
qubit encoding virtual spin representation is used. Four dimensional Hilbert
space of nuclear spin 3/2 is considered in details for this aimComment: 15 pages, 3 figure
Quantum Logic Gates and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Pulse Sequences
We demonstrate how NMR can in principle be used to implement all the elements
required to build quantum computers, and briefly discuss the potential
applications of insights from quantum logic to the development of novel pulse
sequences with applications in more conventional NMR experiments.Comment: Sixteen pages, no figures. Submitted to Journal of Magnetic

Use of Quadrupolar Nuclei for Quantum Information processing by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: Implementation of a Quantum Algorithm
Physical implementation of Quantum Information Processing (QIP) by
liquid-state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), using weakly coupled spin-1/2
nuclei of a molecule, is well established. Nuclei with spin1/2 oriented in
liquid crystalline matrices is another possibility. Such systems have multiple
qubits per nuclei and large quadrupolar couplings resulting in well separated
lines in the spectrum. So far, creation of pseudopure states and logic gates
have been demonstrated in such systems using transition selective
radio-frequency pulses. In this paper we report two novel developments. First,
we implement a quantum algorithm which needs coherent superposition of states.
Second, we use evolution under quadrupolar coupling to implement multi qubit
gates. We implement Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm on a spin-3/2 (2 qubit) system. The
controlled-not operation needed to implement this algorithm has been
implemented here by evolution under the quadrupolar Hamiltonian. This method
has been implemented for the first time in quadrupolar systems. Since the
quadrupolar coupling is several orders of magnitude greater than the coupling
in weakly coupled spin-1/2 nuclei, the gate time decreases, increasing the
clock speed of the quantum computer.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figure
Universal simulation of Hamiltonian dynamics for qudits
What interactions are sufficient to simulate arbitrary quantum dynamics in a
composite quantum system? Dodd et al. (quant-ph/0106064) provided a partial
solution to this problem in the form of an efficient algorithm to simulate any
desired two-body Hamiltonian evolution using any fixed two-body entangling
N-qubit Hamiltonian, and local unitaries. We extend this result to the case
where the component systems have D dimensions. As a consequence we explain how
universal quantum computation can be performed with any fixed two-body
entangling N-qudit Hamiltonian, and local unitaries.Comment: 13 pages, an error in the "Pauli-Euclid-Gottesman Lemma" fixed, main

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.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. 10 additional figures illustrating output spectr
Implementation of a Deutsch-like quantum algorithm utilizing entanglement at the two-qubit level, on an NMR quantum information processor
We describe the experimental implementation of a recently proposed quantum
algorithm involving quantum entanglement at the level of two qubits using NMR.
The algorithm solves a generalisation of the Deutsch problem and distinguishes
between even and odd functions using fewer function calls than is possible
classically. The manipulation of entangled states of the two qubits is
essential here, unlike the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm and the Grover's search
algorithm for two bits.Comment: 4 pages, two eps figure
Efficient and robust entanglement generation in a many-particle system with resonant dipole-dipole interactions
We propose and discuss a scheme for robust and efficient generation of
many-particle entanglement in an ensemble of Rydberg atoms with resonant
dipole-dipole interactions. It is shown that in the limit of complete dipole
blocking, the system is isomorphic to a multimode Jaynes-Cummings model. While
dark-state population transfer is not capable of creating entanglement, other
adiabatic processes are identified that lead to complex, maximally entangled
states, such as the N-particle analog of the GHZ state in a few steps. The
process is robust, works for even and odd particle numbers and the
characteristic time for entanglement generation scales with N^a, with a being
less than unity.Comment: 4 figure
Universal quantum computation and simulation using any entangling Hamiltonian and local unitaries
What interactions are sufficient to simulate arbitrary quantum dynamics in a
composite quantum system? We provide an efficient algorithm to simulate any
desired two-body Hamiltonian evolution using any fixed two-body entangling
n-qubit Hamiltonian and local unitaries. It follows that universal quantum
computation can be performed using any entangling interaction and local unitary
operations.Comment: Added references to NMR refocusing and to earlier work by Leung et al

Development of data representation standards by the human proteome organization proteomics standards initiative.
OBJECTIVE: To describe the goals of the Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI) of the Human Proteome Organization, the methods that the PSI has employed to create data standards, the resulting output of the PSI, lessons learned from the PSI's evolution, and future directions and synergies for the group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The PSI has 5 categories of deliverables that have guided the group. These are minimum information guidelines, data formats, controlled vocabularies, resources and software tools, and dissemination activities. These deliverables are produced via the leadership and working group organization of the initiative, driven by frequent workshops and ongoing communication within the working groups. Official standards are subjected to a rigorous document process that includes several levels of peer review prior to release.
RESULTS: We have produced and published minimum information guidelines describing what information should be provided when making data public, either via public repositories or other means. The PSI has produced a series of standard formats covering mass spectrometer input, mass spectrometer output, results of informatics analysis (both qualitative and quantitative analyses), reports of molecular interaction data, and gel electrophoresis analyses. We have produced controlled vocabularies that ensure that concepts are uniformly annotated in the formats and engaged in extensive software development and dissemination efforts so that the standards can efficiently be used by the community.Conclusion In its first dozen years of operation, the PSI has produced many standards that have accelerated the field of proteomics by facilitating data exchange and deposition to data repositories. We look to the future to continue developing standards for new proteomics technologies and workflows and mechanisms for integration with other omics data types. Our products facilitate the translation of genomics and proteomics findings to clinical and biological phenotypes. The PSI website can be accessed at http://www.psidev.info
Life after charge noise: recent results with transmon qubits
We review the main theoretical and experimental results for the transmon, a
superconducting charge qubit derived from the Cooper pair box. The increased
ratio of the Josephson to charging energy results in an exponential suppression
of the transmon's sensitivity to 1/f charge noise. This has been observed
experimentally and yields homogeneous broadening, negligible pure dephasing,
and long coherence times of up to 3 microseconds. Anharmonicity of the energy
spectrum is required for qubit operation, and has been proven to be sufficient
in transmon devices. Transmons have been implemented in a wide array of
experiments, demonstrating consistent and reproducible results in very good
agreement with theory.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures. Review article, accepted for publication in
