Preparing the ground state of a system is an important task in physics. We propose a quantum algorithm for preparing the ground state of a physical system that can be simulated on a quantum computer. The system is coupled to an ancillary qubit, by introducing a resonance mechanism between the ancilla qubit and the system, and combined with measurements performed on the ancilla qubit, the system can be evolved to monotonically converge to its ground state through an iterative procedure. We have…

Experimental implementation of heat-bath algorithmic cooling using solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance
TLDR
It is demonstrated the repeated repolarization of a particular qubit to an effective spin-bath temperature, and alternating logical operations within the three-qubit subspace to ultimately cool a second qubit below this temperature, an important step forward in the manipulation of solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance qubits.
A one-way quantum computer.
TLDR
A scheme of quantum computation that consists entirely of one-qubit measurements on a particular class of entangled states, the cluster states, which are thus one-way quantum computers and the measurements form the program.
