A model for ensemble NMR quantum computer using antiferromagnetic structure

Abstract

The one-dimensional homonuclear periodic array of nuclear spins I = 1/2, owing to hyperfine interaction of nuclear spins with electronic magnetic moments in antiferromagnetic structure, is considered. The neighbor nuclear spins in such array are opposite oriented and have resonant frequencies determined by hyperfine interaction constant, applied magnetic field value and interaction with the left and right nuclear neighbor spins. The resonant frequencies difference of nuclear spins, when the neighbor spins have different and the same states, is used to control the spin dynamics by means of selective resonant RF-pulses both for single nuclear spins and for ensemble of nuclear spins with the same resonant frequency. A model for the NMR quantum computer of cellular-automata type based on an one-dimensional homonuclear periodic array of spins is proposed. This model may be generalized to a large ensemble of parallel working one-dimensional arrays and to two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures.
