Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the experimental schemes for quantum computation. Most initial state of quantum algorithm in NMR computation is the pseudopure state. Until now, there are several methods to prepare pseudopure state. This note, based on the idea of controlled-not (CNOT) gates combination, has analyzed the characteristics of this method in the odd- and even-qubit system. Also, we have designed the pulse sequence for a 4-qubit sample to obtain pseudopure state, and realized it in the experiment. This method reduces the complexity of experiment and gives a high signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio.
