Bulk quantum computation with nuclear magnetic resonance: theory and experiment

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that quantum computation is possible with mixed states instead of pure states as inputs, by embedding within the mixed state a subspace that transforms like a pure state and that can be identified by labelling it based on logical (spin), temporal, or spatial degrees of freedom.
Abstract
We show that quantum computation is possible with mixed states instead of pure states as inputs. This is performed by embedding within the mixed state a subspace that transforms like a pure state and that can be identified by labelling it based on logical (spin), temporal, or spatial degrees of freedom. This permits quantum computation to be realized with bulk ensembles far from the ground state. Experimental results are presented for quantum gates and circuits implemented with liquid nuclear magnetic resonance techniques and verified by quantum state tomography.

NMR techniques for quantum control and computation

TL;DR: In this article, a broad variety of pulse control and tomographic techniques have been developed for, and used in, NMR quantum computation and many of these will be useful in other quantum systems now being considered for the implementation of quantum information processing tasks.

Experimental realization of a quantum algorithm

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum algorithm using a bulk nuclear magnetic resonance technique was proposed to solve a purely mathematical problem in fewer steps than is possible classically, requiring fewer 'function calls' than a classical computer to determine the global properties of an unknown function.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

TL;DR: Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that one is led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.

Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and Discrete Logarithms on a Quantum Computer

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered factoring integers and finding discrete logarithms on a quantum computer and gave an efficient randomized algorithm for these two problems, which takes a number of steps polynomial in the input size of the integer to be factored.

Elementary gates for quantum computation.

TL;DR: U(2) gates are derived, which derive upper and lower bounds on the exact number of elementary gates required to build up a variety of two- and three-bit quantum gates, the asymptotic number required for n-bit Deutsch-Toffoli gates, and make some observations about the number of unitary operations on arbitrarily many bits.
