Abstract

Values of quantum bits used for a quantum computer is stabilized and the number of quantum bits per element is set to be 100 or more while ensuring quantum state stability during calculation of the quantum bits, quantum state controllability, and capability of achieving large-scale integration of quantum bits. Quantum calculation is performed as generating a spin vortex 6 centered on each hole 4 formed at a copper oxide superconductor thin film 3 by applying a magnetic field to a quantum bit substrate 1 having the copper oxide superconductor thin film 3 at which a plurality of the holes 4 are doped and irradiating an electromagnetic wave 19 containing quantum calculation data to the quantum bit substrate 1 in a state that a clockwise loop current 5 or a counterclockwise loop current 5 is generated in accordance with a position of each hole 4 and each spin vortex 6.

Claims (9)

1. A quantum computer that performs quantum calculation using quantum bits, comprising:

a quantum bit substrate which includes a Mott insulator thin film at which one or more holes or one or more electrons are doped during manufacturing;

a magnetic field generating unit which applies a magnetic field onto the quantum bit substrate in order to generate a spin vortex centered on each hole, or each electron, that is formed at the Mott insulator thin film and thereby create a quantum bit, by generating a clockwise or counterclockwise loop current corresponding to the generated spin vortex state, while also providing an energy difference to two generated spin vortex states thereof;

a quantum calculation data supply unit which generates and irradiates an electromagnetic wave including quantum calculation data with a strength required for causing each hole, or each electron, to be able to perform a Rabi oscillation at the quantum bit substrate; and

a quantum calculation result read-out unit, which extracts a quantum calculation result of the quantum bit substrate, by irradiating a strong coherent light pulse with a narrowed beam diameter onto the quantum bit substrate, in order to analyze a polarization of the resulting reflected light or transmitted light at the quantum bit substrate.

2. The quantum computer according to claim 1 , wherein a hole-doped type copper oxide superconductor thin film is used as the Mott insulator thin film.

3. The quantum computer according to claim 1 , wherein a position of each hole, or each electron, doped at the Mott insulator thin film, is adjusted by operating a probe of a scanning type probe microscope, before performing quantum calculation(s), at the quantum bit substrate.

4. The quantum computer according to claim 1 , wherein difference between energy states, of the respective quantum bits, is adjusted before performing a quantum calculation, at the quantum bit substrate, by applying an uneven magnetic field onto the quantum bit substrate with the magnetic field generating unit.

5. The quantum computer according to claim 1 , wherein the quantum bit substrate is initialized as unifying all loop currents corresponding to the respective holes, or the respective electrons, that are formed at the Mott insulator thin film, to be either clockwise or counterclockwise, by applying a strong magnetic field onto the quantum bit substrate with the magnetic field generating unit, when an initialization instruction is input into the quantum computer.
