Charge qubit rotations in a double-dot nanostructure

Quantum operations with a charge solid-state qubit whose logical states are formed by two spatially separated localized states of an electron in the double-dot structure are studied theoretically. We show that it is possible to perform various one-qubit rotations making use of the microwave pulses tuned to the resonances between the localized states and the excited state delocalized over the nanostructure. An explicit analytic expression for the time-dependent electron state vector is derived, and the appropriate pulse parameters are determined.
