Description
Quantum information processing experiment equipment.
This experiment will let you perform a series of simple quantum computations on a two spin system, demonstrating one and two quantum-bit quantum logic gates, and a circuit implementing the Deutsch-Jozsa quantum algorithm. You will use NMR techniques and manipulate the state of a proton and a carbon nucleus in a chloroform molecule, measuring ensemble nuclear magnetization.
WARNING: You should know MATLAB® well to successfully do this experiment! You will measure:
- the coupling constant describing the electron-mediated interaction between the proton and carbon nuclear spins of chloroform,
- the classical input-output truth table for a controlled-NOT gate
- the numerical output of the Deutsch-Jozsa quantum algorithm, and
- optionally, the output and oscillatory behavior of the Grover quantum search algorithm.
