BFG composite pulses: a simple family of NOT gates with extreme
tolerance of errors    [PDF]

Jonathan A. Jones

Composite pulses, originally developed in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, have found widespread use in experimental quantum information processing to reduce the effects of systematic errors. Here I describe how ideas from the Fn, Gn and BB1 families of composite pulses can be used to derive simple implementations of not gates with unprecedented tolerance of pulse strength errors without unreasonable sensitivity to other errors such as off-resonance errors and phase angle errors.
