NMR Based Quantum Information Processing: Achievements and Prospects
David G. Cory,Raymond Laflamme,Emanuel Knill,Lorenza Viola,Timothy F. Havel,Nicolas Boulant,Gregory S. Boutis,Evan M. Fortunato,Seth Lloyd,Rodolfo A. Martinez,C. Negrevergne,Marco A. Pravia,Yehuda Sharf,Grum Teklemariam,Yaakov S. Weinstein,Wojciech H. Zurek +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce the basic background for understanding applications of NMR to quantum information processing and explain their current successes, limitations and potential, and sketch one direction leading towards a scalable quantum computer using spin 1/2 particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of strongly modulating pulses to implement precise effective Hamiltonians for quantum information processing
Evan M. Fortunato,Marco A. Pravia,Nicolas Boulant,Grum Teklemariam,Timothy F. Havel,David G. Cory +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for improving coherent control through the use of detailed knowledge of the system's Hamiltonian was described, and precise unitary transformations were obtained by strongly modulating the system dynamics to average out unwanted evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benchmarking quantum control methods on a 12-qubit system.
C. Negrevergne,T. S. Mahesh,Colm A. Ryan,Michael J. T. Ditty,Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine,William P. Power,Nicolas Boulant,Timothy F. Havel,David G. Cory,Raymond Laflamme,Raymond Laflamme +10 more
TL;DR: An experimental benchmark of operational control methods in quantum information processors extended up to 12 qubits is presented and universal control of this large Hilbert space is implemented using two complementary approaches and their accuracy and scalability are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
kT -points: short three-dimensional tailored RF pulses for flip-angle homogenization over an extended volume.
Martijn A. Cloos,Martijn A. Cloos,Nicolas Boulant,Michel Luong,Guillaume Ferrand,Eric Giacomini,D. Le Bihan,Alexis Amadon +7 more
TL;DR: Application of kT‐point‐based excitations demonstrated excellent flip angle uniformity for a small target flip angle and with sub‐millisecond durations, making them good candidates for short‐repetition time 3D sequences at high field.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum process tomography of the quantum Fourier transform
Yaakov S. Weinstein,Timothy F. Havel,Joseph Emerson,Nicolas Boulant,Marcos Saraceno,Seth Lloyd,David G. Cory +6 more
TL;DR: The results of quantum process tomography on a three-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor are presented and shown to be consistent with a detailed model of the system-plus-apparatus used for the experiments.
