Abstract
We study a possible physical realization of a quantum controlled-NOT gate with the use of two weakly coupled asymmetric quantum dots. Solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the model two-electron system, we simulate the infrared-radiation-induced quantum transitions that correspond to basic gate operations. We require the transition probabilities to be close to 1 and optimize the parameters of the nanostructure in order to make the gate operation time as short as possible. In the simulations, we have taken into account the entire energy spectrum, which can be populated by the absorption or emission of the infrared radiation. We discuss the consequences of the existence of many bound two-electron states on the probability of radiative transitions.
