Summary Developed a micro-magnet technique for making single spin qubits, which is applicable to non-magnetic material systems, i.e. Si, C-based. Realized a two-qubit gate of combined spin rotation and exchange control, which enables control and detect the partial entanglement. Proposed micro-magnet techniques to implement fast z-rotation and CPHASE. Proposed a SAW technique of transferring qubit state between distant QDs.
