The optimized version of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm proposed by Collins et al. was implemented using the three 19 F nuclear spins of 2,3,4-trifluoroaniline as qubits. To emulate the behavior of pure quantum-mechanical states pseudopure states of the ensemble were prepared prior to execution of the algorithm. Full tomography of the density matrix was employed to obtain detailed information about initial, intermediate, and final states. Information, thus obtained, was applied to optimize the pulse sequences used. It is shown that substantial improvement of the fidelity of the preparation may be achieved by compensating the effects caused by the different relaxation behavior of the different substates of the density matrix. All manipulations of the quantum states were performed under the conditions of unresolved spin-spin interactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
