Abstract
The ability to precisely manipulate an isolated quantum system opens new avenues in the simulation of more complicated quantum systems, using the tools of quantum computation. While the paradigm of quantum computation nowadays considers a collection of two-level systems known as qubits, it is also possible to generalize the basic logic quantum units to multi-level or even continuous systems.
