Swap Test with Quantum Dot Charge Qubits

We propose the implementation of the swap test using a charge qubit in a double quantum dot. The swap test is a fundamental quantum subroutine in quantum machine learning and other applications for estimating the fidelity of two unknown quantum states by measuring an auxiliary qubit. Our proposal uses a controlled three-qubit gate, which is natural to quantum dot charge qubits. It allows us to implement a swap test with a circuit depth of six layers, and an estimated gate time of less than 3 ns, that is below the coherence time of double quantum dots. This work paves the way for enhancing the toolbox of quantum machine learning developments in semiconductor qubits. © 2022 American Physical Society.
