Y-junction splitting spin states of moving quantum dot    [PDF]

Tuukka Hiltunen, Ari Harju
The development of a working quantum computer utilizing electron spin states as qubits is a major goal for many theorists and experimentalists. The future applications of quantum information technology would also require a reliable method for the transportation of quantum information. A promising such method is the propagation of electrons by a surface acoustic wave (SAW). In this paper, we simulate the SAW transfer of two interacting electrons through a Y-shaped junction. Our results show that the singlet and triplet states can be differentiated in the Y-junction by an electrostatic detuning potential, an effect that could be used in for example measuring the state of a two-spin qubit.
