Here, we have defined a qubit structure using a coupled waveguide system. To prepare the initial state of the qubit we set the coupling distance between the two waveguides to a point which corresponds to the desired electron density transfer between the input portion of the qubit and the output portion of the qubit [1]. To this end, it is advantageous to use narrow band-gap semiconductor materials for quantum computing applications due to their relatively long phase coherent times and high mobilites. However, while favorable parameters are attainable in narrow band-gap semiconductors, it is a valid to question the stability of the initial state under varying experimentally verified phase coherent times, inelastic scattering, and imprecise definition of the coupling region in InAs, GaAs, and InSb. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9728422-1-7 |
