Charge-qubit operation of an isolated double quantum dot
  We have investigated coherent time evolution of pseudo-molecular states of an isolated (leadless) silicon double quantum-dot, where operations are carried out via capacitively-coupled elements. Manipulation is performed by short pulses applied to a nearby gate, and measurement is performed by a single-electron transistor. The electrical isolation of this qubit results in a significantly longer coherence time than previous reports for semiconductor charge qubits realized in artificial molecules.
