CNOT Quantum Gate Schematics: Physical Implementation

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the physical implementation of the CNOT quantum gate, specifically seeking schematics and detailed explanations of how qubits are prepared and how entanglement is realized in various physical systems. The scope includes theoretical and practical aspects of quantum computing, particularly in relation to quantum gates.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests physical schematics of the CNOT gate, expressing frustration with the lack of practical resources online.
  • Another participant suggests that the implementation of the CNOT gate depends on the physical system used for qubits, recommending a search for relevant articles.
  • A participant mentions a specific talk by Christopher Monroe regarding the implementation of a controlled-not gate in a trapped ion computer, indicating that the details are complex and context-dependent.
  • There is a reiteration of the need for resources that explain how to implement single qubits and gates, as well as quantum error correction, with a preference for free and detailed materials.
  • Participants acknowledge the existence of various methods to implement qubits, such as ion trapping, but do not reach a consensus on specific implementations or resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the implementation of the CNOT gate is contingent upon the physical system used for qubits, but multiple competing views and approaches remain regarding the specifics of these implementations and the availability of resources.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights the complexity of implementing quantum gates and the varying methods of qubit realization, but does not resolve the specific details or provide definitive resources.

Hi everyone. I'm just looking for schematics of cnot quantum gate, but on the Internet it only talks about it from a mathematical point of view. I want to ask you if you have some drawing, or schematics of it, from a "Physical" implementation, in the sense, how are the spins prepared, how we realize the entalgment between them, in that case, and so on...Thank you :)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Anyone?
 
It depends on what physical system the qubits are encoded into. If you Google "implementation of a quantum cnot gate", you will get many good links.
 
It depends on how the qubits are implemented, so really you're asking about "how do people implement qubits that can be controlled and how do they make them interact?".

The exact details are hairy. Although, I happen to remember Christopher Monroe gave a talk at Google in May, and he mentioned how to implement a controlled-not gate in a trapped ion computer. It's at around 33m. You might need the preceding context from the rest of the talk for it to make sense to you.

It s exactly like that. I m not much interested in the schematics, or the way se see them mathematically, just looking for some links that explain how to implement single qubits and gates, and maybe quantum error correction. There were some articles about that on phys.org, but I m just lookjng for something free and more 'detailed'. I know that there could be different ways to implement cubits, though.. Such as ion trapping, and so on..
