Abstract

We describe a fast quantum computer based on optically controlled electron spins in charged quantum dots that are coupled to microcavities. This scheme uses broad-band optical pulses to rotate electron spins and provide the clock signal to the system. Non-local two-qubit gates are performed by phase shifts induced by electron spins on laser pulses propagating along a shared waveguide. Numerical simulations of this scheme demonstrate high-fidelity single-qubit and two-qubit gates with operation times comparable to the inverse Zeeman frequency.

Comments

4 pages, 4 figures, introduction is clarified, the section on two-qubit gates was expanded and much more detail about gate fidelities is given, figures were modified, one figure replaced with a figure showing gate fidelities for relevant parameters
