It is based on the quantum parallelism principle in a quantum ensemble, the selective decoherence manipulation, and the NMR phase-sensitive measurement. The quantum circuit for the quantum algorithm is designed explicitly.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-09-06T01:06:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nmr quantum computer", "parity problem", "polynomial-time solution", "efficient quantum algorithm", "conventional quantum computation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001quant.ph..8116M" } } }
