We present an open-source software for the simulation of observables in nuclear magnetic/quadrupole resonance experiments (NMR/NQR) on solid-state samples, developed to assist experimental research in the design of new strategies for the investigation of quantum materials inspired by the early NMR/NQR quantum computation protocols. % The software is based on a quantum mechanical description of nuclear spin dynamics in NMR/NQR experiments and has been widely tested on both theoretical and experimental available results. Moreover, the structure of the software allows an easy generalization of basic experiments to more sophisticated ones, as it includes all the libraries required for the numerical simulation of generic spin systems. In order to make the program easily accessible to a large user base, we developed a user-friendly graphical interface and fully-detailed documentation. Lastly, we portray several examples of the execution of the code that demonstrate the potential of NMR/NQR for the scopes of quantum control and quantum information processing.

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a promising experimental approach to search for ultra-light axion-like dark matter. Searches such as the cosmic axion spin-precession experiments (CASPEr) are ultimately limited by quantum-mechanical noise sources, in particular, spin-projection noise. We discuss how such fundamental limits can potentially be reached. We consider a circuit model of a magnetic resonance experiment and quantify three noise sources: spin-projection noise, thermal noise, and amplifier noise. Calculation of the total noise spectrum takes into account the modification of the circuit impedance by the presence of nuclear spins, as well as the circuit back-action on the spin ensemble. Suppression of the circuit back-action is especially important in order for the spin-projection noise limits of searches for axion-like dark matter to reach the quantum chromodynamic axion sensitivity.
Nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscopes that detect rotation as a shift in the precession frequency of nuclear spins, have attracted a lot of attentions. Under a feedback-generated drive, the precession frequency is supposed to be dependent only on the angular momentum and an applied magnetic field. However, nuclei with spins larger than 1/2, experience electric quadrupole interaction with electric field gradients at the cell walls. This quadrupole interaction shifts the precession frequencies of the nuclear spins, which brings inaccuracy to the rotation measurement as the quadrupole interaction constant $C_q$ is difficult to precisely measure. In this work, the effects of quadrupole interaction on nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscopes is theoretically studied. We find that, when the constant $C_q$ is small compared to the characteristic decay rate of the system, as the strength of the feedback-driving field increases, the quadrupole shift monotonically decreases, regardless of the sign of $C_q$. In large $C_q$ regime, more than one precession frequency exists, and the nuclear spins may precess with a single frequency or multi-frequencies depending on initial conditions. In this regime, with large driving amplitudes, the nuclear spin can restore the single-frequency-precession. These results are obtained by solving an effective master equation of the nuclear spins in a rotating frame, from which both the steady-state solutions and dynamics of the system are shown.
Four-body interaction plays an important role in many-body systems, and it can exhibit interesting phase transition behaviors. Historically it was the need to efficiently simulate quantum systems that lead the idea of a quantum computer. In this Letter, we report the experimental demonstration of a four-body interaction in a four- qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor. The strongly modulating pulse is used to implement spin selective excitation. The results show a good agreement between theory and experiment.
Quantum simulation uses a well-known quantum system to predict the behavior of another quantum system. Certain limitations in this technique arise, however, when applied to specific problems, as we demonstrate with a theoretical and experimental study of an algorithm to find the low-lying spectrum of a Hamiltonian. While the number of elementary quantum gates does scale polynomially with the size of the system, it increases inversely to the desired error bound $epsilon$. Making such simulations robust to decoherence using fault-tolerance constructs requires an additional factor of $1/ epsilon$ gates. These constraints are illustrated by using a three qubit nuclear magnetic resonance system to simulate a pairing Hamiltonian, following the algorithm proposed by Wu, Byrd, and Lidar.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has been widely used in the context of quantum information processing (QIP). However, despite the great similarities between NMR and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), no experimental implementation for QIP using NQR has been reported. We describe the implementation of basic quantum gates and their applications on the creation of pseudopure states using linearly polarized radiofrequency pulses under static magnetic field perturbation. The NQR quantum operations were implemented using a single crystal sample of KClO3 and observing 35Cl nuclei, which posses spin 3/2 and give rise to a 2-qubit system. The results are very promising and indicate that NQR can be successfully used for performing fundamental experiments in QIP. One advantage of NQR in comparison to NMR is that the main interaction is internal to the sample, which makes the system more compact, lowering its cost and making it easier to be miniaturized to solid state devices.
