Ts. Mahesh et A. Kumar, Ensemble quantum-information processing by NMR: Spatially averaged logicallabeling technique for creating pseudopure states - art. no. 012307, PHYS REV A, 6401(1), 2001, pp. 2307
A method for creating pseudopure states in NMR is described that combines s
patial averaging and logical labeling techniques. This method uses one labe
ling qubit and any desired pseudopure state of any number of qubits can be
created in the subsystem manifolds of the labeling qubit. The method uses a
nonselective pi /2 radio frequency pulse on all the nonlabeling qubits to
equalize the populations of all the states within each subsystem, followed
by a single transition-selective pi pulse on one of the transitions of the
labeling qubit. The transverse magnetization created during the process is
destroyed by a magnetic field gradient pulse, yielding a subsystem pseudopu
re state. The method is demonstrated experimentally on a system of three qu
bits.
