Abstract
Universal multiple-qubit gates can be implemented by a set of universal single-qubit gates and any one kind of entangling two-qubit gate, such as a controlled-NOT gate. For semiconductor quantum dot qubits, two-qubit gate operations have so far only been demonstrated in individual electron spin-based quantum dot systems. Here we demonstrate the conditional rotation of two capacitively coupled charge qubits, each consisting of an electron confined in a GaAs/AlGaAs double quantum dot. Owing to the strong inter-qubit coupling strength, gate operations with a clock speed up to 6 GHz have been realized. A truth table measurement for controlled-NOT operation shows comparable fidelities to that of spin-based two-qubit gates, although phase coherence is not explicitly measured. Our results suggest that semiconductor charge qubits have a considerable potential for scalable quantum computing and may stimulate the use of long-range Coulomb interaction for coherent quantum control in other devices.

Summary
Universal multiple-qubit gates can be implemented by a set of universal single-qubit gates and any one kind of entangling two-qubit gate, such as a controlled-NOT gate. The implementation of a two-qubit gate operation in QD charge qubits has not been demonstrated to date, largely owing to the technical challenges of achieving strong coupling between qubits and the ability to control gate pulses in the sub-nanosecond time scales. The large coupling energy enables us to completely and coherently turn on/off the Larmor oscillations of one qubit by pulse driving the charge on the other qubit. Based on this effect, we demonstrated a controlled-NOT (CNOT) operation, phase coherence is not explicitly measured[14,15,16,17,18,19]. With the reduction of decoherence rate of single qubit using a more sophisticated double QD dispersion[8], the prospect of semiconductor charge qubits for scalable quantum computation can be considerably improved
