SYSTEM AND METHOD OF QUANTUM COMPUTING USING THREE-STATE REPRESENTATION OF A QUBIT

摘要

A method (and structure) of quantum computing. Two independent magnitudes of a three-state physical (quantum) system are set to simultaneously store two real, independent numbers as a qubit. The three-state physical (quantum) system has a first energy level, a second energy level, and a third energy level capable of being degenerate with respect to one another, thereby forming basis states for the qubit.

1. A method of storing information into a qubit (quantum bit), said method comprising:
applying a static magnetic field to a sample of material having a three-state physical system; and applying a radio frequency (RF) pulse having a pulse width predetermined to cause two magnitudes in said three-state physical system to simultaneously assume predetermined values due to a superposition effect in said three-state physical system, wherein said three-state physical system includes a first energy level, a second energy level, and a third energy level capable of being degenerate with respect to one another, thereby considered as forming basis states for said qubit.
