Potential errors in a scheme of universal quantum gates in Kane’s model

Abstract

We reinvestigate a plausible proposal for universal quantum gates in Kane's model, in which the authors assumed that electron spin is always downward under a background magnetic field and the value of the controlling parameters is varied instantaneously. We demonstrate that a considerable error appears, for example, in the $X$ rotation. As a result, the controlled operations do not work. This failure is caused by improper choice of the computational bases; actually, the electron spin is not always downward over time during quantum operations.

Quantum logic gates from time-dependent global magnetic field in a system with constant exchange

A. V. Nenashev, A. F. Zinovieva, А. В. Двуреченский +2 more

We propose a method that implements a universal set of one- and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation in a system of coupled electron pairs with constant non-diagonal exchange interaction. In our proposal, suppression of the exchange interaction is performed by the continual repetition of single-spin rotations. A small g-factor difference between the electrons allows for addressing qubits and avoiding strong magnetic field pulses. Numerical experiments were performed to show that, to implement the one- and two-qubit operations, it is sufficient to change the strength of the magnetic field by a few Gauss. This introduces one and then the other electron in a resonance. To determine the evolution of the two-qubit system, we use the algorithms of optimal control theory.

Fast donor-based electron spin quantum computing

Charles D. Hill, Lloyd C. L. Hollenberg, Austin G. Fowler +3 more

We propose a scheme for electron spin quantum computing based on electron spin in semiconductors. This scheme shares many similarities with the existing Kane nuclear spin proposal. We show how quantum computation may be carried out in this proposal, including single qubit rotations and CNOT gate. We show how this control can potentially lead to gate speeds 100-1000 times faster than the existing nuclear spin proposal, and up to 106 times faster than a typical electron spin dephasing time, T2(e).

Quantum computation in semiconductor quantum dots of electron-spin asymmetric anisotropic exchange

Xiang Hao, Shiqun Zhu

The universal quantum computation is obtained when there exists asymmetric anisotropic exchange between electron spins in coupled semiconductor quantum dots. The asymmetric Heisenberg model can be transformed into the isotropic model through the control of two local unitary rotations for the realization of essential quantum gates. The rotations on each qubit are symmetrical and depend on the strength and orientation of asymmetric exchange. The implementation of the axially symmetric local magnetic fields can assist the construction of quantum logic gates in anisotropic coupled quantum dots. This proposal can efficiently use each physical electron spin as a logical qubit in the universal quantum computation.

Gates for the Kane quantum computer in the presence of dephasing

Charles D. Hill, Hsi‐Sheng Goan

In this paper we investigate the effect of dephasing on proposed quantum gates for the solid-state Kane quantum computing architecture. Using a simple model of the decoherence, we find that the typical error in a controlled-NOT gate is $8.3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$. We also compute the fidelities of $Z$, $X$, swap, and controlled $Z$ operations under a variety of dephasing rates. We show that these numerical results are comparable with the error threshold required for fault tolerant quantum computation.

Electron dynamics in quantum gate operation

Andrew Kerridge, Anthony Henry Harker, Arthur Marshall Stoneham

We model the evolving time-dependent electronic structure of a solid-state quantum gate as it performs basic quantum operations. Our time-dependent configuration-interaction method follows the evolution of two donor electron spin qubits interacting with a third, optically excited, control spin in an applied magnetic field, a possible realization of the basic component of a proposed quantum information processor. We identify unitary operations which approximately disentangle the control spin, and use them to construct high-accuracy two-electron operations that are locally equivalent to CNOT, SWAP and operations. From our evaluation of the accuracy of a set of candidate gates we estimate the residual entanglement of the control electron and overall gate operation times. These results attest to the feasibility of the silicon-based quantum gates proposed by Stoneham, Fisher and Greenland.

Universal quantum computation with electron spins in quantum dots based on superpositions of spacetime paths and Coulomb blockade

Cyrus C. Y. Lin, Chopin Soo, Yin‐Zhong Wu +1 more

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.
