Quantum Information/Computation Processing with Self-Assembled Macroatoms

Abstract

We shall present a review of quantum dot based schemes for the implementation of quantum information processing. We shall compare two potential implementations which use charge degrees of freedom and different kinds of self-assembled quantum dots. The computational degrees of freedom are interband optical transitions driven by ultrafast sequences of multicolor laser-pulse trains. The proposed implementations exploit exciton–exciton interactions induced by an in-plane external electric field in the case of GaAs-based quantum dot structures, and by the strong built-in electric field in GaN-based heterostructures.

The Excitonic Quantum Computer

A review of semiconductor-based schemes for the realization of quantum information processing devices is presented. After recalling the fundamentals of quantum information/computation theory, we shall discuss potential implementation schemes based on charge and/or spin degrees of freedom in semiconductor nanostructures. More specifically, we shall present an all-optical implementation scheme of quantum information processing with semiconductor macroatoms/molecules, where the computational degrees of freedom are interband optical transitions (excitonic states) manipulated/controlled by ultrafast sequences of multicolor laser pulses. We shall primarily focus on implementation schemes dealing with charge excitations in GaAs as well as GaN quasi-zero-dimensional structures. We shall finally discuss the possibility to combine charge and spin degrees of freedom, thus allowing for fast quantum gates which do not translate into fast decoherence times.

Quantum Information Processing with Semiconductor Macroatoms

Eliana Biolatti, Rita Claudia Iotti, Paolo Zanardi A +1 more

An all optical implementation of quantum information processing with semiconductor macroatoms is proposed. Our quantum hardware consists of an array of quantum dots and the computational degrees of freedom are energy-selected interband optical transitions. The quantum-computing strategy exploits exciton-exciton interactions driven by ultrafast multicolor laser pulses. Contrary to existing proposals based on charge excitations, our approach does not require time-dependent electric fields, thus allowing for a subpicosecond, decoherence-free, operation time scale in realistic semiconductor nanostructures.

Optical quantum gates with semiconductor nanostructures

Eliana Biolatti, Rita Claudia Iotti, Paolo Zanardi A +1 more

An all optical implementation of quantum information processing with semiconductor macroatoms is presented. Our quantum hardware consists of an array of semiconductor quantum dots and the computational degrees of freedom, i.e. the qubits, are energy-selected interband optical transitions. The proposed quantum-computing scheme exploits exciton–exciton interactions driven by ultrafast sequences of multi-colour laser pulses. Contrary to existing proposals based on charge excitations, the present all-optical implementation does not require the application of time-dependent electric fields, thus allowing for a sub-picosecond, i.e. decoherence-free, operation time-scale in realistic state-of-the-art semiconductor nanostructures. Moreover, the fully-optical character of the proposed gating scheme makes it an ideal candidate for the realization of all-optical computing networks. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Spin‐Based Optical Quantum Information Processing

E. Pazy

Abstract We shall present a review of semiconductor spin‐based implementation schemes for the realization of quantum information/computation solid‐state devices. After briefly describing the fundamentals of quantum computation theory, we shall introduce and discuss potential implementation schemes based on the spin degrees of freedom in semiconductor nanostructures. More specifically, we shall describe an implementation scheme for quantum information processing in which the spin degrees of freedom of electrons confined to a quantum dot are the computational degrees of freedom, and spins are manipulated/controlled through interaction between trionic states created by interband optical transitions by ultrafast sequences of multicolor laser pulses. We will also review briefly an adiabatic method for operating the two‐qubit gate that avoids the main imperfections present in real quantum dots: exciton decay, hole mixing, and phonon decoherence.
