Abstract

Using electrostatic gates to control the electron positions, we present a new controlled-NOT gate based on quantum dots. The qubit states are chosen to be the spin states of an excess conductor electron in the quantum dot; and the main ingredients of our scheme are the superpositions of space-time paths of electrons and the effect of Coulomb blockade. All operations are performed only on individual quantum dots and are based on fundamental interactions. Without resorting to spin-spin terms or other assumed interactions, the scheme can be realized with a dedicated circuit and a necessary number of quantum dots. Gate fidelity of the quantum computation is also presented.

Holonomic quantum computation with electron spins in quantum dots

Vitaly N. Golovach, Massoud Borhani, Daniel Loss

With the help of the spin-orbit interaction, we propose a scheme to perform holonomic single-qubit gates on the electron spin confined to a quantum dot. The manipulation is done in the absence (or presence) of an applied magnetic field. By adiabatic changing the position of the confinement potential, one can rotate the spin state of the electron around the Bloch sphere in semiconductor heterostructures. The dynamics of the system is equivalent to employing an effective non-Abelian gauge potential whose structure depends on the type of the spin-orbit interaction. As an example, we find an analytic expression for the electron spin dynamics when the dot is moved around a circular path (with radius $R$) on the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and show that all single-qubit gates can be realized by tuning the radius and orientation of the circular paths. Moreover, using the Heisenberg exchange interaction, we demonstrate how one can generate two-qubit gates by bringing two quantum dots near each other, yielding a scalable scheme to perform quantum computing on arbitrary $N$ qubits. This proposal shows a way of realizing holonomic quantum computers in solid-state systems.

Quantum Gates Based on Electron Spins of Triple Quantum Dot

Hirotaka Sasakura, S. Adachi, Shunichi Muto

Quantum computation using electron spins in three-coupled dots of different sizes is proposed. By using photon-assisted tunnelling, Coulomb blockade and spin rotation of electrons, logic gates are realized by static and rotational magnetic fields and resonant optical pulses. The two-bit CNOT is numerically demonstrated by the time evolution of the density matrix. In addition, the Hamiltonian is described using pseudo-spin representation and the phase change during the gate operation is discussed.

Quantum gates by coupled asymmetric quantum dots and controlled-NOT-gate operation

Tetsufumi Tanamoto

A quantum computer based on an asymmetric coupled-dot system has been proposed and shown to operate as a controlled-NOT gate. The basic ideas are the following. (1) The electron is localized in one of the asymmetric coupled dots. (2) The electron transfer takes place from one dot to the other when the energy levels of the coupled dots are set to be close. (3) The Coulomb interaction between the coupled dots mutually affects the energy levels of the other coupled dots. The decoherence time of the quantum computation and the measurement time are estimated. The proposed system can be realized by developing the technology of the single-electron memory using Si nanocrystals, and a direct combination of the quantum circuit and the conventional circuit is possible.

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.

Controlled-Not Quantum Logic Gate in Two Strongly Coupled Semiconductor Charge Qubits

Hai-Ou Li, Gang Cao, Guodong Yu +4 more

A crucial requirement for scalable quantum-information processing is the realization of multiple-qubit quantum gates. Universal multiple-qubit gates can be implemented by a set of universal single qubit gates and any one kind of two-qubit gate, such as a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. Semiconductor quantum dot qubits are a leading approach for the physical implementation of quantum computation, due to their potential for large-scale integration. Two-qubit gate operations have been so far only demonstrated in individual electron spin-based quantum dot systems. Due to the relatively short de-coherence time, charge qubits in quantum dots are generally considered to be inferior for going beyond single qubit level. Here, we demonstrate the benchmarking CNOT gate in two capacitively coupled charge qubits, each consisting of an electron confined in a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot. Owing to the strong inter-qubit coupling strength, gate operations with a clock speed up to 5GHz has been realized. A processing tomography shows encouragingly that the universal two-qubit gate operations have comparable fidelities to that of spin-based two-qubit gates. Our results suggest that semiconductor charge qubits have a considerable potential for scalable quantum computing and may stimulate the use of long-range Coulomb interaction for coherent quantum control in other devices.
