Abstract

Recently it has been shown that the dynamics of a cluster of dipolar-coupled spins can be manipulated to store and process a large amount of information in a parallel way [Chem. Phys. Lett. 360, 161 (2002)]. Here it is further demonstrated that it is possible to realize a cascade of parallel bitwise operations on a spin cluster so that an algorithm of parallel search can be experimentally implemented by means of nuclear magnetic resonance.
