Quantum phase gating with semiconductor quantum dots in a microcavity

Abstract

We propose a scheme to carry out quantum phase gate in one step by bichromatic radiation method with semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a single mode microcavity. The spin degrees of freedom of the only excess conduction band electron are employed as qubits and excitonic states are used as auxiliary states. The nearest-neighbor coupling is not required because the cavity mode plays the role of data bus. We show how to perform quantum computing with properly tailored laser pulses and Pauli-blocking effect, without exciting the cavity mode.
