Spin-Based Quantum Dot Quantum Computing in Silicon

The spins of localized electrons in silicon are strong candidates for quantum information processing because of their extremely long coherence times and the integrability of Si within the present microelectronics infrastructure. This paper reviews a strategy for fabricating single electron spin qubits in gated quantum dots in Si/SiGe heterostructures. We discuss the pros and cons of using silic...

Theoretical Issues in Spin-based Quantum Dot Quantum Computation

We review our recent work addressing various theoretical issues in spin-based quantum dot quantum computation and quantum information processing. In particular, we summarize our calculation of electron exchange interaction in two-electron double quantum dots and multi-electron double dots, and discuss the physical implication of our results. We also discuss possible errors and how they can be c...

Acceptor-based silicon quantum computing

A solid-state quantum computer with dipolar coupling between qubits is proposed. The qubits are formed by the low-lying states of an isolated acceptor in silicon. The system has the scalability inherent to spin-based solid state systems, but the spatial separation between the qubits is an order of magnitude larger. Despite strong dipolar inter-qubit coupling, the decoherence rate, as measured b...

Quantum current modeling in nano-transistors with a quantum dot

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
