Abstract:
We study the adiabatic equivalent of the standard quantum circuit of elementary
logic operators. We propose a scheme for constructing time variations of
the Hamiltonian. This scheme can be implemented sufficiently simply, for example,
on nuclear spins controlled by radio-frequency pulses. As an illustration, we
numerically simulate an adiabatic quantum algorithm for finding
the permutation order for a system of five spins (qubits).
Keywords:quantum algorithm, adiabatic evolution, nuclear magnetic resonance.
