自旋的物理冷却:一种提高极化率的可行方法

Algorithmic Cooling of Spins: A Practicable Method for Increasing Polarization

Jose M. Fernandez, Seth Lloyd, Tal Mor, Vwani Roychowdhury

摘要:

产生由外部磁场高度极化的自旋系综的有效技术是核磁共振(NMR)光谱学中的圣杯。由于自旋半核具有与温度成反比增加的稳态极化偏置,因此即使当其环境温暖时,呈现高极化偏置的自旋也被认为是冷的。现有的旋转冷却技术在其效率和实用性方面受到高度限制。自旋冷却是一种很有前途的新的自旋冷却方法,它采用开放系统中的数据压缩方法。它将长分子上自旋的熵降低到远远超过香农可逆熵操纵的界限(热力学第二定律的信息论版本),从而增加了它们的极化。在这里,我们提出了一个有效的和实验上可行的算法冷却技术,冷却自旋到非常低的温度,即使在短分子。这种可行的算法冷却可能会在不久的将来导致高灵敏度NMR光谱学的突破,并在遥远的将来开发可扩展的NMR量子计算机。此外,虽然冷却算法本身是经典的,但它在实现中使用了量子门,因此代表了量子计算设备的首次短期应用。

英文摘要:

An efficient technique to generate ensembles of spins that are highly polarized by external magnetic fields is the Holy Grail in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Since spin-half nuclei have steady-state polarization biases that increase inversely with temperature, spins exhibiting high polarization biases are considered cool, even when their environment is warm. Existing spin-cooling techniques are highly limited in their efficiency and usefulness. Algorithmic cooling is a promising new spin-cooling approach that employs data compression methods in open systems. It reduces the entropy of spins on long molecules to a point far beyond Shannon's bound on reversible entropy manipulations (an information-theoretic version of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics), thus increasing their polarization. Here we present an efficient and experimentally feasible algorithmic cooling technique that cools spins to very low temperatures even on short molecules. This practicable algorithmic cooling could lead to breakthroughs in high-sensitivity NMR spectroscopy in the near future, and to the development of scalable NMR quantum computers in the far future. Moreover, while the cooling algorithm itself is classical, it uses quantum gates in its implementation, thus representing the first short-term application of quantum computing devices.
