RT Journal Article T1 Quantum dot spin cellular automata for realizing a quantumprocessor A1 Bayat, Abolfazl A1 Creffield, Charles A1 Jefferson, John H A1 Pepper, Michael A1 Bose, Sougato AB We show how single quantum dots, each hosting a singlet-triplet qubit, can be placed in arrays to build a spin quantum cellular automaton. A fast (∼ 10 ns) deterministic coherent singlet- triplet filtering, as opposed to current incoherent tunneling/slow-adiabatic based quantum gates (operation time ∼ 300 ns), can be employed to produce a two-qubit gate through capacitive (electrostatic) couplings that can operate over significant distances. This is the coherent version of the widely discussed charge and nano-magnet cellular automata, and would increase speed, reduce dissipation, and perform quantum computation while interfacing smoothly with its classical counterpart. This combines the best of two worlds – the coherence of spin pairs known from quantum technologies, and the strength and range of electrostatic couplings from the charge-based classical cellular automata. Significantly our system has zero electric dipole moment during the whole operation process, thereby increasing its charge dephasing time.
