There is, however, a lack of simulated results from the theory of holonomic control of quantum registers with more than two qubits describing the transition between the dark states. Considering this, we have been experimenting with the IBM Quantum Experience technology to determine the capabilities of simulating holonomic control of NV-centers for three qubits describing an eight-level system that produces a non-Abelian geometric phase. The tunability of the geometric phase via the detuning frequency is demonstrated through the high fidelity (~85%) of three-qubit off-resonant holonomic gates over the on-resonant ones. The transition between the dark states shows the alignment of the gate\u2019s dark state with the qubit\u2019s initial state hence decoherence of the multi-qubit system is well-controlled through a \u03c0\/3 rotation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24111593","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,3]],"date-time":"2022-11-03T03:11:21Z","timestamp":1667445081000},"page":"1593","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Demonstration of the Holonomically Controlled Non-Abelian Geometric Phase in a Three-Qubit System of a Nitrogen Vacancy Center"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Shaman","family":"Bhattacharyya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nano-Scale Transport Physics Laboratory, School of Physics, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 1 Jan Smuts Avenue, Wits 2050, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8744-2527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Somnath","family":"Bhattacharyya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nano-Scale Transport Physics Laboratory, School of Physics, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, 1 Jan Smuts Avenue, Wits 2050, South Africa"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1016\/S0375-9601(99)00803-8","article-title":"Holonomic quantum computation","volume":"264","author":"Zanardi","year":"1999","journal-title":"Phys.
