• Abstract: Universal quantum computation requires single-qubit control together with at least one entangling two-qubit gate. CNOT and CROT gates are two famous examples of such gates, wherein the state of one qubit (control) dictates the transformation applied to the other (target). By using a simple derivation motivated by symmetry, we show that current device architectures of semiconductor-based quantum dot devices prevent efficient implementation of a CNOT and other asymmetric control-target gates via Heisenberg exchange, Coulomb repulsion, or other interaction that is invariant under spin exchange. Guided by this general principle, we propose a heterogeneous blueprint of double quantum dot devices that enables efficient implementation of the CNOT by breaking the spin exchange symmetry. Crucially, our numerical simulations predict that this novel device blueprint can enable a single-pulse fault-tolerant 100-ns CNOT gate in isotopically purified silicon.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.
