The Ellenbogen's “Matter as Software” Concept for Quantum Computer Implementation. C60 and X@C60 Molecules as Available Molecular Building Blocks (MBBs) for Tip-Based Nanofabrication (TBN) of Quantum Computing Devices
Abstract
The TBN bottom-up strategy of building quantum devices from C60 and X@C60 MBBs is proposed as an extension of the Ellenbogen's “Matter as Software” idea to quantum information processing. The capped SW or DW CNT STM tip is considered as device for manipulating C60 and X@C60 molecules. In this article, the possibility of using easily available on the market C60 Fullerene and endohedral X@C60 molecules together with commercial CNT tips to assemble carbon-based intermediate generations of quantum nano-devices is considered. Positional TBN of a target class of carbon-based nano-devices will require molecular tools capable of transferring C60 and X@C60 molecules to reaction sites that have binding energies of the order of 2.6 eV per [6, 6] (or 6/6 according to another common description) reaction site of C60 Fullerene molecule. Desirable properties of TBN CNT tip tool include approximately exoergic transfer of moieties to these structures; good geometrical exposure of moieties; and structural, electronic and positional stability. The results presented in this paper suggest that the CNT tips have adequate properties to become tools for C60 and X@C60 MBBs transfer into a reaction site during positional mechanosynthesis. The surpassing features of the commercial single/double wall capped CNT tips such as, small tip radii, extreme aspect ratio, excellent wear-out behavior and the average low-temperature binding energy of C60 ∼2.7 ±0.1 eV make them the ideal tools for bridging the gap between the present-day tip-based nanofabrication (TBN) and the future implementation of “Matter as Software” concept for quantum computing.
