Abstract

We propose an implementation of a universal set of one- and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation using the spin states of coupled single-electron quantum dots. Desired operations are effected by the gating of the tunneling barrier between neighboring dots. Several measures of the gate quality are computed within a recently derived spin master equation incorporating decoherence caused by a prototypical magnetic environment. Dot-array experiments that would provide an initial demonstration of the desired nonequilibrium spin dynamics are proposed.

Robust Quantum Computation with Quantum Dots

C. Stephen Hellberg

Quantum computation in solid state quantum dots faces two significant challenges: Decoherence from interactions with the environment and the difficulty of generating local magnetic fields for the single qubit rotations. This paper presents a design of composite qubits to overcome both challenges. Each qubit is encoded in the degenerate ground-state of four (or six) electrons in a system of five quantum dots arranged in a two-dimensional pattern. This decoherence-free subspace is immune to both collective and local decoherence, and resists other forms of decoherence, which must raise the energy. The gate operations for universal computation are simple and physically intuitive, and are controlled by modifying the tunneling barriers between the dots--Control of local magnetic fields is not required. A controlled-phase gate can be implemented in a single pulse.

Entanglement of two-electron spin states in a double quantum dot

Vladislav G. Bagrov, Dmitri M Gitman, Aleksandr D. Levin +1 more

Recently, an implementation of a universal set of one- and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation using spin states of coupled single-electron quantum dots was proposed. It was demonstrated that it is possible to execute a coherent control of a quantum system based on two-electron spin states in a double quantum dot, allowing state preparation, coherent manipulation, and projective readout. This possibility is based on rapid electrical control of the spin exchange interaction. These results motivated us to develop a formal theoretical study of the corresponding model of two coupled spins placed in a magnetic field and subjected to a time-dependent mutual Heisenberg interaction. Using possible exact solutions of the corresponding quantum problem, we study entangling of different separable initial states in this model. It is demonstrated that the entanglement due to a time-dependent Heisenberg interaction is dominating in comparison with the entanglement due to the action of an external magnetic field.

Quantum Gates based on Electron Spin in Quantum Dots

Yash Tiwari, Vishvendra Singh Poonia

This work tries to model Single, Double and Triple electrons, spins based gates using quantum dot. These gates form universal gates in quantum computation and are building block of all logic circuits based on quantum gates. These spins are based on electrons which now days can be easily confined in quantum dots using a combination of hetero-structure and metal electrodes [5]. The modelling has taken analytical approach (One and Two Electron System [15], [10], [14]) wherever possible and numerical approach (Three Electron System). The spin manipulations in above three system, show us how to implement some of the important gates in quantum computing [NOT, CNOT,TOFFOLI etc.] in spin based quantum dot system. We think the TOFFOLI implementation is a novel architecture for a electron spin based system. We will also comment on the physical aspect of the simulation work wherever possible . We will also workout the aspect of quantum noise of the system which would be based on Davies Master(DM) Equation [8] based on Markovian approximation and Weak Coupling to the surrounding

Universal set of quantum gates for double-dot exchange-only spin qubits with intradot coupling

Marco De Michielis, Elena Ferraro, Marco Fanciulli +1 more

We present a universal set of quantum gate operations based on exchange-only spin qubits in a double quantum dot, where each qubit is obtained by three electrons in the (2,1) filling. Gate operations are addressed by modulating electrostatically the tunneling barrier and the energy offset between the two dots, singly and doubly occupied respectively. We propose explicit gate sequences of single qubit operations for arbitrary rotations, and the two-qubit controlled NOT gate, to complete the universal set. The unswitchable interaction between the two electrons of the doubly occupied quantum dot is taken into account. Short gate times are obtained by employing spin density functional theory simulations.

Universal Set of Quantum Gates for Double-Dot Spin Qubits with Fixed Interdot Coupling

Ronald Hanson, Guido Burkard

We propose a set of universal gate operations for the singlet-triplet qubit realized by two-electron spins in a double quantum dot, in the presence of a fixed inhomogeneous magnetic field. All gate operations are achieved by switching the potential offset between the two dots with an electrical bias, and do not require time-dependent control of the tunnel coupling between the dots. We analyze the two-electron dynamics and calculate the effective qubit rotation angle as a function of the applied electric bias. We present explicit gate sequences for single-qubit rotations about two orthogonal axes, and a CNOT gate sequence, completing the universal gate set.
