A new approach to the implementation of a quantum computer by high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is described. The key feature is that two or more line-selective radio-frequency pulses are applied simultaneously. A three-qubit quantum computer has been investigated using the 400 MHz NMR spectrum of the three coupled protons in 2,3-dibromopropanoic acid. It has been employed to implement the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm for distinguishing between constant and balanced functions. The extension to systems containing more coupled spins is straightforward and does not require a more protracted experiment.
