Abstract
A quantum computer comprises a crystal lattice having storage atoms. The storage atoms have nuclear storage spins, and quantum bits are stored as orientations of the storage spins. A magnetic field is applied to the crystal, the magnetic field having a gradient on the order of 1T/&mgr;m. The gradient is generated by a micromagnet. The electrons of the crystal acquire a regular order, and the storage spins are initialized by inducing combined electron-nucleus transitions in the crystal, thereby transferring the electronic order to the storage spins. The storage spins are decoupled from each other by a decoupling magnetic field. Quantum logic operations are performed on the storage spins. Certain quantum logic operations require a modification of the decoupling field to recouple a plurality of the storage spins. Final polarizations of the storage spins are measured.
