ObadaAbstractThe presented work provides a new prospective of quantum computer hardware development through ballistic nanowires with Rashba effect. We address Rashba effect as a possible mechanism to realize novel qubit gates in nanowires. We apply our results to the design of a new quantum circuit for Fourier algorithm, which shows an improved quantum cost in terms of the number of gates. The current system can be successfully implemented to increase the production of quantum computer experimentally thanks to the absence of impurities. The introduced circuit will enhance the scope of experimental and theoretical research for the realization of other quantum algorithms, such as phase estimation and Shor's algorithms.
