Abstract

We give a brief introduction to quantum computation and we discuss a possible solid state implementation. We show how to prepare and measure qubit states and how to implement single and 2-qubit gates with ballistic electrons.

Ballistic Single-Electron Quputer

Radu Ionicioiu, Gehan J. Amaratunga, Florin Udrea

We propose a new solid state implementation of a quantum computer (quputer) using ballistic single electrons as flying qubits in 1D nanowires. We use a single electron pump (SEP) to prepare the initial state and a single electron transistor (SET) to measure the final state. Single qubit gates are implemented using quantum dots as phase shifters and electron waveguide couplers as beam splitters. A Coulomb coupler acts as a 2-qubit gate, using a mutual phase modulation effect. Since the electron phase coherence length in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures is of the order of 30$μ$m, several gates (tens) can be implemented before the system decoheres.

The Qubit and Quantum State

Johnny Hooyberghs

Now that you have a basic idea on what quantum computing is all about, let’s dive a little deeper into the logical qubit, its implementation, and the actual quantum state it should represent.

QUANTUM COMPUTATION WITH BALLISTIC ELECTRONS

Radu Ionicioiu, Gehan A. J. Amaratunga, Florin Udrea

We describe a solid state implementation of a quantum computer using ballistic single electrons as flying qubits in 1D nanowires. We show how to implement all the steps required for universal quantum computation: preparation of the initial state, measurement of the final state and a universal set of quantum gates. An important advantage of this model is the fact that we do not need ultrafast optoelectronics for gate operations. We use cold programming (or pre-programming), i.e. the gates are set before launching the electrons; all programming can be done using static electric fields only.
