Electron spin quantum computing with N@C[sub 60]
Carola Meyer · AIP conference proceedings · 2001
We propose to use the electron and nuclear spin of N@C60 (atomic nitrogen in C60) and similar systems like P@C60 as a new type of qubit for quantum computing. The shielding of the C60 cage leads to extremely long electron spin relaxation times. In addition, fullerenes are fairly easy to manipulate both mechanically and chemically and can be arranged on surfaces, e.g. in linear chains. Spins of different endohedral atoms can be addressed separately. The coupling between the qubits is mediated by magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. In this paper we suggest an implementation of local control structures to make the computer scalable.
