【 摘 要 】

The performance of dual-gate GaAs-nanowire field-effect-transistor (FET) is investigated as a charge-qubit device operating at room temperature. In compatibility with the state-of-the-art classical bit technology, it is shown that the single gate of a nanowire FET can be replaced by two localized gates to achieve such charge-qubit operation. On application of relevant biases to the localized gates, two voltage tunable quantum dots are created within the nanowire channel with electrostatically controlled single-state-occupancy and interdot coupling leading to charge-qubit operation at room temperature. The associated electron transport is theoretically modeled on the basis of nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. The initialization and manipulation for qubit operation are performed by applying suitable gate voltages, whereas the measurement is executed by applying a small drain bias to obtain a pulse current of approximate to pA order. A approximate to 25 MHz frequency of coherent oscillation is observed for the qubit and a characteristic decay time of approximate to 70 ns is achieved. The results suggest that such dual gate nanowire FET is a promising architecture for charge-qubit operation at room temperature.
