Unitary Two-State Quantum Operators Realized By Quadrupole Fields in the Electron Microscope
arXiv:1907.06493 · doi:10.1016/j.ultramic.2021.113456
Abstract
In this work, a novel method for using a set of electromagnetic quadrupole fields is presented to implement arbitrary unitary operators on a two-state quantum system of electrons. In addition to analytical derivations of the required quadrupole and beam settings which allow an easy direct implementation, numerical simulations of realistic scenarios show the feasibility of the proposed setup. This is expected to pave the way not only for new measurement schemes in electron microscopy and related fields but even one day for the implementation of quantum computing in the electron microscope.
