We propose a scheme for realizing quantum gates [controlled-NOT (CNOT) and Toffoli] using a two-level quantum system by means of a pulsed bias. We show how to realize a CNOT gate using a two-qubit, two-level coupled system and a Toffoli gate using a three-qubit, two-level coupled system. For the CNOT gate, we show how to reduce the 4x4 Hamiltonian of the coupled system to a 2x2 Hamiltonian in order to solve for parameter values of the system. When these values are substituted into the coupled system equations for the two-qubit system, the simulation results confirm the CNOT gate operation. We further demonstrate our proposed scheme for a CNOT gate operation using a multilevel system of two coupled superconducting quantum interference devices as a particular example. We next use the same approach to implement a Toffoli gate using a three-qubit system.
