Asymmetric quantum dots are coupled through
an applied electric field
E. A. Stinaff et al, Science 311, 636 (2006).
Why CQDs?
Coupling With Applied Field
Fabrication
Coupling Mechanism
Scaling Up
1 Scalable qubits Each dot represents a qubit
2 Long-lived Spin of unpaired electron or hole
3 Ultra-fast Optically excited states as auxiliary levels
(laser pulses)
