Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional semiconductor charge qubits suffer from decoherence due to coupling with external noise sources, leading to reduced quantum information lifetimes and poor gate fidelities, as they are sensitive to electric field fluctuations and difficult to integrate with external circuitry.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional charge qubits are used, then ease of coupling with external circuitry is improved, but coherence time deteriorates due to strong coupling with charge noise sources
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies asymmetry by using an asymmetric double-dot configuration where the quantum well depths of the two dots are deliberately made different. This asymmetric potential landscape creates distinct localized states with different energy levels, enabling the formation of charge qubits that have reduced dipole moments and consequently weaker coupling to charge noise sources, thereby extending coherence time while maintaining external circuitry coupling capability
2Duration of action of stationary object
If charge qubits operate at sweet spot, then coherence time is improved, but gate fidelity deteriorates due to inability to perform rotations about second axis
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by enabling time-dependent tuning of the detuning parameter through dynamic control of the barrier height between the two dots. This dynamic control allows the system to perform rotations about the second axis (x-axis or y-axis on Bloch sphere) by temporarily moving away from the sweet spot and then returning, thereby achieving universal quantum gate operations while maintaining high coherence times through optimized pulse sequences
3Object-affected harmful factors
If symmetric quantum dot assembly is used, then coupling with charge noise is reduced, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the quantum dot system into two distinct quantum wells with different depths, creating a segmented asymmetric structure. This segmentation allows independent optimization of each dot's properties and enables precise control over the relative positioning and coupling strength, thereby reducing complexity in achieving the desired asymmetric configuration while effectively minimizing coupling to charge noise sources
