Long-Range Interaction of Spin-Qubits via Ferromagnets

We propose a mechanism of coherent coupling between distant spin qubits interacting dipolarly with a ferromagnet. We derive an effective two-spin interaction Hamiltonian and estimate the coupling strength. We discuss the mechanisms of decoherence induced solely by the coupling to the ferromagnet and show that there is a regime where it is negligible. Finally, we present a sequence for the implementation of the entangling CNOT gate and estimate the corresponding operation time to be a few tens of nanoseconds. A particularly promising application of our proposal is to atomistic spin-qubits such as silicon-based qubits and NV-centers in diamond to which existing coupling schemes do not apply.
