Ultra-Fast All-Electrical Universal Nano-Qubits

Abstract

We propose how to create, control, and read-out real-space localized spin qubits in proximitized finite graphene nanoribbon (GNR) systems using purely electrical methods. Our proposed nano-qubits are formed of in-gap singlet-triplet states that emerge through the interplay of Coulomb and relativistic spin-dependent interactions in GNRs placed on a magnetic substrate. Application of an electric field perpendicular to the GNR heterostructure leads to a sudden change in the proximity couplings, i.e. a quantum quench, which enables us to deterministically rotate the nano-qubit to any arbitrary point on the Bloch sphere. We predict these spin qubits to undergo Rabi oscillations with optimal visibility and frequencies in excess of 10 GHz. Our findings open up a new avenue for the realization of graphene-based quantum computing with ultra-fast all-electrical methods.
