Temat: Fast spin initialization of an electron trapped in a gated nanowire quantum dot
Abstract:
In the era when classical computing technologies are apparently nearing their pinnacle of evolution we seek for alternative solutions which could ensure continued growth of computer capabilities.
To make this happen the idea of quantum computers has been brought to life, yet scientists still strug-gle with physical realization of this concept. There are many obstacles on the way which have to be overcome first. One of them is quantum state initialization. In classical computing calculations are done starting from certain known states of variables used in an algorithm. Quantum computing is no differ-ent in this matter, as we also have to start from known quantum states. Thus, we need a method to create such known states.
If we encode bits of quantum information into electron spins, there must be a way to initialize them. In electrostatic quantum dot solid state systems the only method used thus far is relatively slow and re-quires magnetic fields.
We propose a new method, employing the Rashba spin-orbit interaction in InSb quantum nanostruc-tures, which is fast, provides predictable initialization times and does not rely on the magnetic field. This method has been successfully simulated for a planar nanodevice [1], however, recent simulations suggest much better results for quantum wires[2].
