Low-noise conditional operation of singlet-triplet coupled quantum dot qubits

We theoretically study the influence of charge noise on a controlled phase gate, implemented using two proximal double quantum dots coupled electrostatically. Using the configuration interaction method, we present a full description of the conditional control scheme and quantitatively calculate the gate error arising from charge fluctuations. Our key finding is that the existence of noise-immune sweet spots depends on not only the energy detuning but also the device geometry. The conditions for sweet spots with minimal charge noise are predicted analytically and verified numerically. Going beyond the simple sweet-spot concept we demonstrate the existence of other optimal situations for fast and low-noise singlet-triplet two-qubit gates.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Productions of heavy charged leptons via gluon fusion at LHC: A revisit

Heavy charged lepton productions via gluon fusion at the LHC are revisited. Full loop calculations are adopted with an updated parton distribution function and electroweak data. Including contribution from new generation quarks in the loop, pair production of the sequential heavy lepton via gluon fusion at the LHC dominates over that via the Drell-Yan mechanism in some heavy lepton mass range. Exotic lepton single production of vector-like lepton extended models is also calculated. In the later case, the gluon fusion mechanism via the Higgs exchange is emphasized. Our numerical results for both pair and single production of heavy leptons are smaller than previous studies especially for a large heavy lepton mass as a result of full loop calculation and due to the mixing angles.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures; (v2) typos corrected, references adde
