Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of single-molecule devices, and in particular to a probabilistic bit device based on the dipole moment of a single tetraligand molecule and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In traditional computing systems, the basic unit of information is the classical bit, whose binary nature (0 or 1) forms the logical foundation of deterministic computation. As computing needs become increasingly complex, quantum computing has proposed quantum bits (qubits) based on quantum superposition and entanglement, aiming to achieve breakthroughs in computing power through parallelism. However, the implementation of qubits is limited by the stringent requirements of quantum environments (such as ultra-low temperatures and decoherence effects), and their physical carriers (such as superconducting circuits and ion traps) often rely on complex peripheral control systems, limiting the feasibility of large-scale applications. Meanwhile, the concept of probabilistic bits has been proposed. These bits simulate non-deterministic state outputs through random processes, demonstrating unique value in the stochastic decision-making of classical algorithms (such as Monte Carlo simulations and genetic algorithms) and in quantum-classical hybrid computing. However, existing probabilistic bit implementations often rely on random number generation using electronic circuits or post-processing algorithms, which suffer from limitations in the source of randomness, low controllability, and insufficient energy efficiency.
[0003] In recent years, molecular devices have become a research hotspot for novel computing vehicles due to their unique physicochemical properties. The multiple degrees of freedom of molecular systems (such as electronic states, configurations, and dipole orientations) can provide natural randomness for information encoding. Their nanoscale self-assembly capabilities and low energy consumption have opened up new avenues for high-density integration and device miniaturization. In particular, in the field of dipole control, molecular systems with reversible configurational changes can be driven by external fields to achieve dipole reversal, forming bistable probabilistic outputs that are dependent on the applied bias voltage, offering a potential solution for the physical realization of probabilistic bits.

[0083] Example 2
[0084] The process of preparing a probabilistic bit device based on the dipole moment of a single tetraligand molecule is as follows:
[0085] A single layer of graphene was deposited on copper foil using chemical vapor deposition. The single layer of graphene was then attached to a clean quartz wafer using scotch tape. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was then spin-coated on the single layer of graphene using a spin coater at 4000 rpm for 40 seconds. The coating was then baked on a heating plate at 180°C for 2 minutes. The excess PMMA and graphene on the back of the copper foil were then etched away using oxygen plasma to obtain a PMMA-single layer of graphene-copper foil structure.
[0086] The PMMA-single-layer graphene-copper foil was cut into 1 cm × 1 cm small pieces, placed in a saturated ferric chloride solution, and the copper foil on the back was dissolved to obtain a PMMA-supported single-layer graphene film.
[0087] The PMMA-supported single-layer graphene film was soaked in hydrochloric acid solution, aqueous solution and potassium hydroxide solution, and then transferred to a silicon wafer covered with 350 nm thick silicon oxide. The film was allowed to stand, dried, and the PMMA was removed using acetone under heating conditions at 120°C to obtain a graphene-silicon wafer layer.
[0088] Mark the graphene-silicon wafer layer, spin-coat photoresist on the marked large graphene, and use a strip mask to photoetch the graphene strips. After exposure and development, the strip-shaped photoresist is left to protect part of the graphene, while the rest of the graphene is exposed. The exposed graphene is removed by oxygen plasma etching; then the photoresist is also removed by soaking in acetone to obtain a backing with a central graphene strip.
[0089] Electrodes were photolithographically formed on the graphene strips on the backing, followed by evaporation of 8nm of chromium and 60nm of gold to create a graphene strip with gold electrodes. The photoresist was then removed by soaking in acetone, resulting in a graphene array electrode. The conductivity of the graphene array electrode was tested at 50mV, and backings with conductivity in the 10μA range were selected for subsequent experiments.
[0090] A dotted line with a length of 150 nm and a width of 5 nm was etched on the graphene array electrode by electron beam exposure to obtain a first graphene point electrode and a second graphene point electrode.
[0091] The first graphene point electrode and the second graphene point electrode are etched with oxygen plasma, and each pair of electrodes is tested for continuity using a probe station and a source meter. After repeating this step multiple times, a graphene nanogap point electrode pair is obtained.
[0092] The graphene nanogap point electrode pair was placed in a two-necked flask. 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (5 mL) and a pyridine solution of a tetraligand dipole compound were added to the flask. The concentration of the solution was not less than 0.5 mM. The mixture was reacted in a nitrogen atmosphere for 48 h, so that the -NH2 at both ends of the bottom of the tetraligand dipole molecule formed amide covalent bonds with the -COOH at the end of the graphene nanogap point electrode pair. The device was removed from the two-necked flask, washed three times with deionized water and acetone, respectively, and the surface was blown dry with nitrogen for later use. This yielded a probabilistic bit device based on the dipole moment of a single tetraligand molecule.
[0093] Among them, the tetracoordinate dipolar compound is compound III When , the test results of the probability bit device are as follows Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown;
[0094] The tetraligand dipolar compound is selected from compound II When , the test results of the probability bit device are as follows Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown;
[0095] The tetraligand dipolar compound is selected from compound IV When , the test results of the probability bit device are as follows Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown;
[0096] from Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the tetracoordinate dipole molecule is successfully connected between the graphene nanogap point electrodes, and the molecular probabilistic bit device can be controlled by the bias voltage parameter. The molecular conductance fluctuates between two values, and the two conductance states of the molecule form a stable probability ratio over a long time scale.
[0097] in, Figure 2 Figure A shows the current changes in the time range of 0 to 200 seconds. As can be seen from the figure, the current value fluctuates between 6 and 11 nA, showing dense and frequent current changes; Figure 2 Figure B is a partial enlargement of Figure A, showing the current changes in the time range of 21s to 25s. It can be seen that the current has obvious drops and increases at certain moments, which may be related to the electrochemical blockade mode; Figure 2 Figure C shows the current change at a voltage of 0.45 V. In the time range of 0 to 1000 ms, the current value is between 7 and 10 nA, and there is an obvious current decrease process, which may be related to the quantum dot tunneling effect.
[0098] Figure 4Figure A shows the current changes in the time range of 0 to 200 seconds. As can be seen from the figure, the current value fluctuates between 4.5nA and 8.0nA. The overall trend is relatively stable, but there are some small fluctuations and changes. Figure 4 Figure B is a partial enlargement of Figure A, showing the current changes in the time range of 20s to 25s. The current value rises and falls significantly in a short period of time, showing a pulse-like characteristic, indicating that the current changes significantly within a specific time period. Figure 4 Figure C shows the current change at a voltage of 0.45V. The time range is from 0 to 1800ms. The current value fluctuates around 5.0nA and is relatively stable overall. However, there is a clear upward trend in the early stage, and then it tends to be stable.
[0099] Figure 6 Figure A shows the current changes in the time range of 0 to 200 seconds. As can be seen from the figure, the current value fluctuates between 7nA and 13nA. The overall trend is relatively stable, but there are some sharp current drops and increases, indicating that there may be transient changes in conductance or impedance. Figure 6 Figure B is a partial enlargement of Figure A, showing the current changes in the time range of 105s to 110s. It can be seen that the current has obvious drops and rises in a short period of time, which may be related to the single-molecule conductance or quantum dot tunneling effect. Figure 6 Figure C shows the current change at a voltage of 0.45V. In the time range of 0 to 1000ms, the current value fluctuates around 5.0nA, which is relatively stable overall. However, there is an obvious upward trend in the early stage, and then it tends to be stable.
[0100] from Figure 3 It can be seen that in the process of reducing the bias voltage from 0.5V to 0.3V, the proportion of the high conductivity state of a single tetraligand dipole molecule decreased from 90% to less than 10%, and the proportion of the low conductivity state increased from less than 10% to 91%. Between approximately 0.45V and 0.4V, the two states of a single tetraligand dipole molecule accounted for roughly the same proportion, 50% each, realizing the function of adjustable probability bit.
[0101] from Figure 5 It can be seen that in the process of reducing the bias voltage from 0.55V to 0.1V, the proportion of the low conductivity state of a single tetraligand dipole molecule decreased from 92% to less than 10%, and the proportion of the high conductivity state increased from less than 10% to more than 93%. At about 0.45V, the two states of a single tetraligand dipole molecule accounted for roughly the same proportion, 50% each, realizing the function of adjustable probability bit.
[0102] from Figure 7It can be seen that in the process of reducing the bias voltage from 0.6V to 0.1V, the proportion of the low conductivity state of a single tetraligand dipole molecule decreased from 92% to less than 10%, and the proportion of the low conductivity state increased from less than 10% to 93%. At about 0.5V, the two states of a single tetraligand dipole molecule accounted for roughly the same proportion, 50% each, realizing the function of adjustable probability bit.
[0103] There are many reasons why changes in the dipole moment of a single tetraligand molecule induce changes in conductivity. These include: regulating electron transport properties by altering the charge distribution and local electric field within the molecule; influencing the contact potential and interface effects between the molecule and the metal electrode; changing the molecule's energy level structure and energy gap, thereby affecting electron injection and transport capabilities; and further regulating conductivity by influencing electron tunneling and electron interactions. In a probabilistic bit device based on the dipole moment of a single tetraligand molecule, the probability of the two states varies under different bias voltages. This is primarily due to factors such as the bias voltage altering the energy level structure of the electrons within the molecule, the electron injection and tunneling processes, the interaction between the molecular dipole moment and the electric field, and thermal effects. By influencing electron transport and the relative positions of energy levels within the molecule, the bias voltage alters the relative probability distribution between the two states.
