Feasibility study of quantum computing using trapped electrons

Abstract

We investigate the feasibility of using electrons in a linear Paul trap as qubits in a future quantum computer. We discuss the necessary experimental steps to realize such a device through a concrete design proposal, including trapping, cooling, electronic detection, spin readout and single and multi-qubit gate operations. Numeric simulations indicate that two-qubit Bell-state fidelities of order 99.99% can be achieved assuming reasonable experimental parameters.
