Title: Quantum computing using chiral qubits

Abstract

An apparatus for performing quantum computing includes multiple qubits, each of at least a subset of the qubits comprising a loop formed of a Dirac or Weyl semimetal and having at least two stable quantum states. The apparatus further includes at least one terahertz cavity coupled with the qubits, the terahertz cavity being configured to detect the quantum states of the qubits. Each of at least the subset of qubits is configured to receive a circularly polarized radiation source. The radiation source is adapted to excite a chiral current in each of at least the subset of qubits, the quantum states of the plurality of qubits being a function of the chiral current.
