In NMR quantum computing, spin states of spin-1/2 nuclei are called qubits. Quantum logic gates are represented by unitary matrices. As a universal gate, controlled-NOT (CNOT) is a two-qubit gate. For the IS (I = 1/2 and S = 1/2) spin system, two-qubit CNOT gate is represented by a 4 × 4 matrix. SWAP logic gate, which exchanges two quantum states, is constructed by CNOT gates. In this study, first, four-qubit CNOT gates are constructed for the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. Then, by using these CNOT gates, a four-qubit SWAP logic gate is found. As an application and verification, an obtained SWAP logic gate is applied to the matrix representation of product operators for the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. SWAP logic gate can also be presented by an NMR pulse sequence. By using the product operator theory, the pulse sequence of the SWAP logic gate is applied to product operators of the IS (I = 3/2, S = 3/2) spin system. The expected exchange results are obtained for both the matrix representation and the pulse sequence of SWAP logic gate.

In quantum information processing, spin-3/2 electron or nuclear spin states are known as twoqubit states. For SI (S ¼ 3=2; I ¼ 1=2) spin system, there are eight three-qubit states. In this study, first, three-qubit CNOT logic gates are obtained. Then three-qubit entangled states are obtained by using the matrix representation of Hadamard and three-qubit CNOT logic gates. By considering single 31 P@C 60 molecule as SI (S ¼ 3=2; I ¼ 1=2) spin system, three-qubit entangled states are also obtained using the magnetic resonance pulse sequences of Hadamard and CNOT logic gates.
