A quantum device includes an actuator including a graphene material and having a proximal end mounted to an actuator anchor; an electrode disposed on a distal end of the actuator; a quantum dot, configured to localize a single electron, the quantum dot and the electrode disposed within a common vacuum to define a tunneling gap; and a quantum dot anchor, including the graphene material, disposed in a same plane as the quantum dot relative to the electrode. The quantum device may include a modulator configured to emit electromagnetic signaling within a particular frequency range. The graphene material is tuned to increase a Casimir force between the electrode and the quantum dot anchor in response to the electromagnetic signaling. The increased Casimir force causes the actuator to deform to bring the electrode within an electron tunneling range of the quantum dot, or lowers a tunneling barrier on a static electrode.
