Quantum computation and Bell-state measurements with double-dot molecules

We propose a quantum computation architecture of double-dot molecules, where the qubit is encoded in the molecule two-electron spin states. By arranging the two dots inside each molecule perpendicular to the qubit scaling line, the interactions between neighboring qubits are largely simplified and the scaling to the multiqubit system becomes straightforward. As an Ising-model effective interaction can be expediently switched on and off between any two neighboring molecules by adjusting the potential offset between the two dots, universal two-qubit gates can be implemented without requiring time-dependent control of the tunnel coupling between the dots. A Bell-state measurement scheme for qubit encoded in double-dot singlet and triplet states is also proposed for quantum molecules arranged in this way
