• Abstract summary: Single electrons trapped on solid neon surfaces (eNe) have recently emerged as a promising platform for charge qubits. We show that surface bumps can naturally bind an electron, forming unique quantum ring states. We also show that the electron's excitation energy can be tuned using a modest magnetic field to facilitate qubit operation.

• Abstract: Single electrons trapped on solid neon surfaces (eNe) have recently emerged as a promising platform for charge qubits. Experimental results have revealed their exceptionally long coherence times, yet the actual quantum states of these trapped electrons, presumably on imperfectly flat neon surfaces, remain elusive. In this paper, we examine the electron's interactions with neon surface topography, such as bumps and valleys. By evaluating the surface charges induced by the electron, we demonstrate its strong perpendicular binding to the neon surface. The Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the electron's lateral motion on the curved 2D surface is then solved for extensive topographical variations. Our results reveal that surface bumps can naturally bind an electron, forming unique quantum ring states that align with experimental observations. We also show that the electron's excitation energy can be tuned using a modest magnetic field to facilitate qubit operation. This study offers a leap in our understanding of eNe qubit properties and provides strategic insights on minimizing charge noise and scaling the system to propel forward quantum computing architectures.

• Coulomb interaction-driven entanglement of electrons on helium [0.0]
  We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction. We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis. In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.
