Abstract

Numerical simulation results are presented which suggest that a class of nonadiabatic rapid passage sweeps first realized experimentally in 1991 should be capable of implementing a set of quantum gates that is universal for one-qubit unitary operations and whose elements operate with error probabilities Pe -4. The sweeps are noncomposite and generate controllable quantum interference effects which allow the onequbit gates produced to operate non-adiabatically while maintaining high accuracy. The simulations suggest that the one-qubit gates produced by these sweeps show promise as possible elements of a fault-tolerant scheme for quantum computing.
