Abstract

The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a reading method which eliminates the need for generating a reference current when detecting the number of electrons corresponding to the direction of spin of one electron, and which increases a signal amount and is robust against disturbance noise. One preferred aspect of the present invention is a quantum bit array circuit comprising a quantum bit array unit and a sense amplifier unit. The quantum bit array unit includes a spin charge conversion part having a first quantum bit transistor and a second quantum bit transistor for reading a quantum bit state, and a third quantum bit transistor for supplying electrons to the first quantum bit transistor. The sense amplifier unit includes a first output transistor and a second output transistor for outputting current according to the number of electrons. The first quantum bit transistor and the second quantum bit transistor are connected via an electron movement pathway. The first quantum bit transistor and the second quantum bit transistor are electrically connected or capacitively coupled to the first output transistor and the second output transistor, respectively. A barrier transistor having a gate electrode for applying voltage for executing a Pauli spin blockade and voltage for executing a classical charge operation is provided between the first quantum bit transistor and the second quantum bit transistor.
