We study the construction of holonomy loops numerically in a realization-independent model of holonomic quantum computation. The aim is twofold. First, we present our technique of finding the suitable loop in the control manifold for any one-qubit and two-qubit unitary gates. Second, we develop the formalism further and add a penalty term for the length of the loop, thereby aiming to minimize the execution time for the quantum computation. Our method provides a general means by which holonomy loops can be realized in an experimental setup. Since holonomic quantum computation is adiabatic, optimizing with respect to the length of the loop may prove crucial.
