The QCAD framework for quantum device modeling

Computational Electronics (IWCE), 2012 15th International Workshop on

Gao, Xujiao G.; Nielsen, Erik N.; Muller, Richard P.; Young, Ralph W.; Salinger, Andrew G.; Carroll, Malcolm

We present the Quantum Computer Aided Design (QCAD) simulator that targets modeling quantum devices, particularly Si double quantum dots (DQDs) developed for quantum computing. The simulator core includes Poisson, Schrodinger, and Configuration Interaction solvers which can be run individually or combined self-consistently. The simulator is built upon Sandia-developed Trilinos and Albany components, and is interfaced with the Dakota optimization tool. It is being developed for seamless integration, high flexibility and throughput, and is intended to be open source. The QCAD tool has been used to simulate a large number of fabricated silicon DQDs and has provided fast feedback for design comparison and optimization.

Configuration interaction calculations of the controlled phase gate in double quantum dot qubits

Physical Review B - Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Nielsen, Erik N.; Muller, Richard P.; Carroll, Malcolm

We consider qubit coupling resulting from the capacitive coupling between two double quantum dot (DQD) singlet-triplet qubits. Calculations of the coupling when the two DQDs are detuned symmetrically or asymmetrically are performed using a full configuration interaction (CI). The full CI reveals behavior that is not observed by more commonly used approximations such as Heitler London or Hund Mulliken, particularly related to the operation of both DQDs in the (0,2) charge sector. We find that there are multiple points in detuning space where a two-qubit entangling gate can be realized, and that tradeoffs between coupling magnitude and sensitivity to fluctuations in detuning make a case for operating the gate in the (0,2) regime not commonly considered. © 2012 American Physical Society.
