Abstract
A novel and useful topological, scalable, and reprogrammable quantum computing machine having one or more quasi-unidimensional chord lines along which the movement of a particle is constrained. The unidimensional passage has localized energy levels that can be controlled with classic electronics. The chord line has two or more quantum dots between which a quasi-unidimensional channel is formed for the particle to travel from one qdot to the other. The tunneling path may be polysilicon, metal, thin oxide, or induced depletion region. The chord line can be in a two-dimensional space for a planar process or in a three-dimensional space with multiple layers of signal processing for a three dimensional process. A quantum structure has semiconductor dots with a layer that provides the chord line for the quantum particle evolution to occur from one dot to the other. The various layers may include polysilicon, metal, thin oxide, or induced depletion region either fully overlapped or partially overlapped.
