Towards Quantum Computing with Molecular Electronics

Abstract

In this study, we explore the use of molecules and molecular electronics for quantum computing. We construct one-qubit gates using one-electron scattering in molecules, and two-qubit controlledphase gates using electron-electron scattering along metallic leads. Furthermore, we propose a class of circuit implementations, and show initial applications of the framework by illustrating one-qubit gates using the molecular electronic structure of molecular hydrogen as a baseline model.
