Abstract
Using nucleotide architectures to very closely and precisely place chromophores on a nucleic acid template to form dye aggregates that produce quantum coherent excitons, biexcitons, and triexcitons upon excitement to create excitonic quantum wires, switching, and gates that would then form the basis of quantum computation. Creating the various excitons and controlling the timing of the excitons would be performed using light of the corresponding wavelength and polarization to stimulate the corresponding chromophores.
Claims27
A complex quantum circuit for quantum computing, comprising:
- at least two nucleotide brick molecular canvases, each comprising:
- a nucleotide brick;
- and
- at least two aggregates, each aggregate comprising of at least two tightly coupled chromophores and the aggregates are loosely coupled to another aggregate, wherein one or more of the chromophores within the aggregates are bound to internal regions of the nucleotide brick so as to form a wire of aggregates;
- wherein a first nucleotide brick molecular canvas of the at least two nucleotide brick molecular canvases is aligned and adjacent to a second nucleotide brick molecular canvas of the at least two nucleotide brick molecular canvases so that light emitted from said aggregates on said first nucleotide brick molecular canvas may be absorbed by the aggregates on the second nucleotide brick molecular canvas.
