Disentangling the exchange coupling of entangled donors in the Si quantum computer architecture.

We develop a theory for micro-Raman scattering by single and coupled two-donor states in silicon. We find the Raman spectra to have significant dependence on the donor exchange splitting and the relative spatial positions of the two-donor sites. In particular, we establish a strong correlation between the temperature dependence of the Raman peak intensity and the interdonor exchange coupling. Micro-Raman scattering can therefore potentially become a powerful tool to measure interqubit coupling in the development of a Si quantum computer architecture.

Exchange in silicon-based quantum computer architecture.

The silicon-based quantum computer proposal has been one of the actively pursued ideas during the past three years. Here we calculate the donor electron exchange in silicon and germanium, and demonstrate an atomic-scale challenge for quantum computing in Si (and Ge), as the six (four) conduction-band minima in Si (Ge) lead to intervalley electronic interference, generating strong oscillations in the exchange splitting of two-donor two-electron states. Donor positioning with atomic-scale precision within the unit cell thus becomes a decisive factor in determining the strength of the exchange coupling-a fundamental ingredient for two-qubit operations in a silicon-based quantum computer.
