Control techniques in spin based quantum computation

Working on quantum systems entail different interests, for example, working on fundamental \nunderstanding of quantum systems also lay foundation for better quantum computation \ntechniques. A test for whether a system is behaving quantum mechanically or \nclassically is devised by Leggett and Garg in form of inequalities, called Leggett-Garg Inequalities \n(LGI). Such Inequalities are violated by a system whose evolution is governed \nby quantum mechanics. A precise experiment to violate LGIs require a guarantee that the \nmeasurement does not affect the system or its future dynamics. These Inequalities were \nproposed for dichotomic systems,systems which can have two outcomes. Here we present \nan LG experiment on a three-level quantum system, which theoretically have larger quantum \nupper bound than that of a two-level quantum system. This larger violation also \nprovides a bigger buffer to taking in account of the various experimental imperfections. \nPerforming a quantum computing task requires precise level of control to initialize, \nperform and measure the quantum system. With increasing size of the quantum processor \nthe challenge is to maintain optimal control. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has \nalways been a very faithful test-bed for quantum processing ideas. In NMR, we perform \nRadio Frequency (RF) pulses to control and steer the system to the desired state. Most \nused method to derive the exact frequency and amplitude of these pulses for a given \ntask is based on gradient. Although systematic, one have to simulate these pulses on \na classical computer first, which makes the task very inefficient. We report a a way of \nperforming optimization with a hybrid quantum-classical scheme. This scheme helps us \nperform classically harder computational tasks on the quantum processor. We optimize \npulses which drive our system from 7-coherence state to 12-coherence state on a 12-qubit \nNMR processor. \nElectron Spin Resonance (ESR) employs the same techniques as of NMR but having \nadvantage in larger polarization compared to later. Although this does not imply better \ncontrol, cause the frequency at which pulses are required to control an ESR system fall into \nmicrowave region. Microwave frequency are harder to control electronically, thus making \nit harder for performing ESR quantum computing. The hybrid scheme used in NMR \nexperiment relies on some ideal pulses which are needed to be optimized classically. We \nalleviate this requirement by using finite difference method of calculating gradient. We \ncompare these methods with the earlier methods to show the superiority of such a scheme. \nState-to-state transfer pulses are sufficient for most of the quantum computing task, \nbut, an universal quantum information implementation requires state independent pulses. \nThe techniques used in optimizing state-to-state pulses can be modified to optimize for a \nstate independent pulse. We show that this methods scale polynomially with the number \nof qubits and is general in terms of its implementation. We further reduce the resource \nrequirement by using a NMR related implementation.
