Description

In this work, we study the possibility of hydrogenated graphene based Qubits. The chemisorption of hydrogen in graphene provides a nuclear spin 1/2 as well as the localization of an electron in the vicinity of the adatom, very much like in the Qubits based on P donors in Si[1-4]. The possibility to control with atomic precision the chemisorption of hydrogen[5], along with the high tunability of the electronic properties of graphene (and graphene nano-structures)[6], offers a great tool to control the interactions in the system allowing to perform single and two-qubit operations. We use a 4 orbital tight-binding model in the Slater-Koster approximation, validated with DFT calculations, to explore the tunability of the interactions and the feasibility of these ideas. [1] B. E.
