Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to quantum-dot-based quantum computer architectures that are scalable and defect tolerant and to methods for fabricating quantum dots in quantum computer architectures. In one embodiment of the present invention, a node of quantum computer architecture comprises a first photonic device supported by a substrate. The quantum computer architecture also includes a number of quantum dots coupled to the first photonic device, and a switch supported by the substrate that controls transmission of electromagnetic waves between a bus waveguide and the quantum dots.
