Abstracts: Quantum information and quantum computation are emerging research areas based on the properties of quantum resources, such as superposition and entanglement. In the quantum gate array version, the use of convenient and proper gates is essential. While these gates adopt theoretically convenient forms to reproduce computational algorithms, their design and feasibility depend on specific quantum systems and physical resources used in their setup. These gates should be based on systems driven by physical interactions ruled by a quantum Hamiltonian. Then, the gate design is restricted to the properties and the limitations imposed by the interactions and the physical elements involved. This work shows how anisotropic Heisenberg-Ising interactions, written in a non-local basis, allow the reproduction of quantum computer operations based on unitary processes. We show that gates can be generated by a pulse sequence of driven magnetic fields. This fact states alternative techniques in quantum gate design for magnetic systems. A brief final discussion around associated fault tolerant extensions to the current work is included.
