Loss-DiVincenzo quantum computer
The Loss-DiVincenzo quantum computer is a scalable semiconductor-based quantum computer proposed by Daniel Loss and David P. DiVincenzo in 1997. The proposal was to use as qubits the intrinsic spin-1/2 degree of freedom of individual electrons confined to quantum dots...
