A different way to realize nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation is proposed by varying parameters in the Hamiltonian for nuclear-magnetic resonance, where the dynamical and geometric phases are implemented separately without the usual operational process. Therefore the phase accumulated in the geometric gate is a pure geometric phase for any input state. In comparison with the conventional geometric gates by rotating operations, our approach simplifies experimental implementations making them robust to certain experimental errors. In contrast to the unconventional geometric gates, our approach distinguishes the total and geometric phases and offers a wide choice of the relations between the dynamical and geometric phases.
