چکیده
The material systems include GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor heterostructures, semiconducting nanowires and carbon nanotubes. These materials have their own advantages that can be employed to engineer a spin-friendly environment. These include fabrication and electrical-control issues as well as the strength of the hyperfine interaction (i.e. presence or absence of nuclear spins) and the spinorbit interaction.

Electrical control over single hole spins in nanowire quantum dots
Single electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are a versatile platform for quantum information processing, however controlling decoherence remains a considerable challenge. 1-4 Recently, hole spins have emerged as a promising alternative. Holes in III-V semiconductors have unique properties, such as strong spin-orbit interaction and weak coupling to nuclear spins, and therefore have...
متن کاملSpin interactions, relaxation and decoherence in quantum dots
We review recent studies on spin decoherence of electrons and holes in quasi-two-dimensional quantum dots, as well as electron-spin relaxation in nanowire quantum dots. The spins of confined electrons and holes are considered major candidates for the realization of quantum information storage and processing devices, provided that sufficently long coherence and relaxation times can be achieved. ...
متن کاملQuadrupolar and anisotropy effects on dephasing in two-electron spin qubits in GaAs.
Understanding the decoherence of electron spins in semiconductors due to their interaction with nuclear spins is of fundamental interest as they realize the central spin model and of practical importance for using them as qubits. Interesting effects arise from the quadrupolar interaction of nuclear spins with electric field gradients, which have been shown to suppress diffusive nuclear spin dyn...

The creation, coherent manipulation, and measurement of spins in nanostructures open up completely new possibilities for electronics and information processing, among them quantum computing and quantum communication. We review our theoretical proposal for using electron spins in quantum dots as quantum bits. We present singleand two qubit gate mechanisms in laterally as well as vertically coupl...
متن کاملQuantum Dots Attached to Ferromagnetic Leads: Exchange Field, Spin Precession, and Kondo Effect
Spintronics devices rely on spin-dependent transport behavior evoked by the presence of spin-polarized electrons. Transport through nanostructures, on the other hand, is dominated by strong Coulomb interaction. We study a model system in the intersection of both fields, a quantum dot attached to ferromagnetic leads. The combination of spin-polarization in the leads and strong Coulomb interactio...
