Static magnetic feld gradients superimposed on the electromagnetic trapping potential of a Penning trap can be used to implement laser-less spin-motion couplings that allow the realization of elementary quantum logic operations in this system. An important scenario of practical interest is the application to g-factor measurements with single (anti-)protons to test CPT invariance. We discuss the classical and quantum behavior of a charged particle in a Penning trap with a superim- posed magnetic feld gradient. Using analytic and numeric calculations, we find that it is possible to carry out a SWAP gate between the spin and the motional qubit of a single (anti-)proton with high fidelity, provided the particle has been initialized in the motional ground state. We discuss the implications of our findings for the realization of quantum logic spectroscopy in this system.
