Tunable spectral narrowing enabling the functionality of graphene qubit circuits at room temperature

Abstract

Electrically controllable quantum coherence in quantum dot clusters and arrays based on graphene stripes with zigzag atomic edges (ZZ-stripes) is studied using the Dirac equation and S-matrix technique. We find that respective multiqubit circuits promise stable operation up to room temperatures when the coherence time is prolonged up by a few orders of magnitude through the intrinsic spectral narrowing owing to electron transport between at bands in adjacent sections. Respectively, the coupling of qubits to a noisy environment is diminished, while the inelastic electron-phonon scattering is suppressed. The Stark splitting technique enables a broad range of operations such as all{electrical tuning of the energy level positions and width, level splitting, controlling of the inter-qubit coupling, and the coherence time. At the resonant energies, the phase coherence spreads over thousands of periods. Such phenomena potentially can be utilized in quantum computing and communication applications at room temperature.
