Zusammenfassung: | In this paper, we propose the construction of a nanodevice performing the spin rotations of an electron confined in an electrostatic quantum dot without the use of a magnetic field. Sinusoidally varying voltage applied in different phases to four gates causes the electron to move along a two-dimensional closed path. The spin-orbit interaction that is present in the structure induces spin rotations. For a properly adjusted AC signal duration, the logical NOT operation or the Hadamard quantum gate can be performed on the electron spin. We perform a simulation of the nanodevice's time evolution. |
