Introduction ● 1985: Feynman proposes quantum computation , characterizes quantum logic gates. ● 1985: Deutsch characterizes the universal quantum computer. ● 1992: Deutsch and Jozsa present an algorithm that requires less operations on a quantum computer. ● 1997: Gershenfeld and Chuang propose an implementation using bulk-ensemble spin systems. ● 1997: Cory, et. al. propose using NMR spectroscopy. ... Quantum Computation DVP 4/27/2007

Quantum Computation ● Key Idea #1: Every pair of spin eigenstates is a qubit. ● Key Idea #3: Implement a function f with a unitary operator U f . ● Key Idea #2: Operations are implemented with RF pulses. ● Important example: controlled-not. Implements f(x) = x . ● Ensemble NMR --> measure expectation values. ... Initial State Preparation DVP 4/27/2007

Initial State Preparation The Boltzmann distribution of the energy eigenspectrum is Problem: We need the pure state |00> ! Solution: Time-average to obtain a pseudopure state . ● Take three trials, cyclically permuting the non-|00> elements. ● The average of the three is the action on the pure state |00> ! ● Finally, fire a “read out” pulse and observe the FID signal. Density matrix leads to spectrum ... Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm DVP 4/27/2007

Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm (1992) ● Classically: Look at both sides to decide if a coin is fair. (2 evaluations) ● Quantum computation can do better! ● Enumerate (and implement) all possible functions: ● Apply pulse sequence to |00> ● If f(0) = f(1): We see |00> ● If f(0) != f(1): W e see |10> ...

Error Analysis ● Integrate absolute peaks numerically. ● Random error calculated from 20 repeated “baseline” spectra ~ 1% ● Uncertainty from fluctuations in the background ~ .5% ● Calibrate from thermal state, propagate error. But: ● Deviation from theoretical prediction typically ~10-20%. ● Our error does not cover this! Significant systematics: ● Asymmetric lineshapes due to improper shimming. ● Imperfect pulse widths – deterioration over time. ● Inhomogeneous magnetic field. ● Inhomogeneous RF field. ... Conclusion DVP 4/27/2007

Conclusion We have: ● Presented an implementation of Deutsch-Jozsa using ensemble NMR. ● Calibrated computing system. ● Successfully performed DJ on all four functions. ● Discussed sources of error. Stay tuned: ● Brian Pepper on Grover's Algorithm. Questions? DVP 4/27/2007
