title: Quantum logic gates and nuclear magnetic resonance pulse sequences.
abstract: There has recently been considerable interest in the use of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a technology for the implementation of small quantum computers. These computers operate by the laws of quantum mechanics, rather than classical mechanics and can be used to implement new quantum algorithms. Here we describe how NMR in principle can be used to implement all the elements required to build quantum computers, and draw comparisons between the pulse sequences involved and those of more conventional NMR experiments.
