چکیده
It is known that a quantum computer operating on electron-spin qubits with single-electron Hamiltonians and assisted by single-spin measurements can be simulated efficiently on a classical computer. We show that the exponential speedup of quantum algorithms is restored if single-charge measurements are added. These enable the construction of a CNOT (controlled NOT) gate for free fermions, using only beam splitters and spin rotations. The gate is nearly deterministic if the charge detector counts the number of electrons in a mode, and fully deterministic if it only measures the parity of that number.

Quantum computation with coupled quantum dots embedded in optical microcavities
Based on an idea that spatial separation of charge states can enhance quantum coherence, we propose a scheme for a quantum computation with the quantum bit ~qubit! constructed from two coupled quantum dots. Quantum information is stored in the electron-hole pair state with the electron and hole located in different dots, which enables the qubit state to be very long-lived. Universal quantum gat...
متن کاملUniversal quantum computation with electronic qubits in decoherence-free subspace
We investigate how to carry out universal quantum computation deterministically with free electrons in decoherence-free subspace by using polarizing beam splitters, charge detectors, and single-spin rotations. Quantum information in our case is encoded in spin degrees of freedom of the electron-pairs which construct a decoherence-free subspace. We design building blocks for two noncommutable si...

In this report, the distribution and deviation of electric field in the active medium of the TE CO2 laser has been investigated due to the injection of net electron charge beam as a plasma generator. Some parameters of system have been considered, such as density and mean-free-path of injected charge beam. The electric potential and electric field distribution have been simulated by solving the...
متن کاملSingle-Electron Tunneling Devices
Single-electron tunneling devices can detect charges much smaller than the charge of an electron. This enables phenomenally precise charge measurements and it has been suggested that large scale integration of single-electron devices could be used to construct logic circuits with a high device packing density. Here the operation of the two basic types of single-electron tunneling transistors is...
متن کاملCovariant Quantization of Superstrings Without Pure Spinor Constraints
We construct a covariant quantum superstring, extending Berkovits’ approach by introducing new ghosts to relax the pure spinor constraints. The central charge of the underlying Kac-Moody algebra, which would lead to an anomaly in the BRST charge, is treated as a new generator with a new b − c system. We construct a nilpotent BRST current, an anomalous ghost current and an anomaly-free energy-mo...
