Mesoscopic interface for single molecules
 
 
 
IQSE researchers are exploring the integration of a single particle system, an isolated polar molecule, with mesoscopic solid state devices in a way that produces robust, coherent, quantum-level control. In this approach the trapping, cooling, detection, coherent manipulation and quantum coupling of isolated polar molecules can be achieved at sub-micron dimensions near cryogenic stripline microwave resonators. Such electrostatically trapped polar molecules can exhibit strong confinement and fast, purely electrical gate control.
At the same time, the effect of electrical noise sources, a key issue in quantum information processing, can be suppressed to very low levels via appropriate preparation and manipulation of the polar molecules. This setup provides a scalable cavity QED-type quantum computer architecture, where entanglement of distant qubits stored in long-lived rotational molecular states is achieved via exchange of microwave photons.
