Patent ID: 7655850

Claim:
A universal quantum gate comprising: a single qubit gate including a quantum dot, the quantum dot to include a qubit, the qubit to be represented by a state from among polarized intervalley states of an electron in the quantum dot; and a two-qubit gate coupled to the single qubit gate and including a first quantum dot and a second quantum dot, the first quantum dot to include a first qubit, the first qubit to be represented by a state from among polarized intervalley states of an electron in the first quantum dot, the second quantum dot to include a second qubit, the second qubit to be represented by a state from among polarized intervalley states of an electron in the second quantum dot, wherein gate voltages to be applied to the first quantum dot and the second quantum dot are to be adjusted such that an energy level of the representative states of the first and second qubits is based on an integer multiple of an inter-dot Coulomb-energy level.
