Chiral Qubit: Implementing a Qubit Using Chiral Charge and Chiral Anomaly

Dirac and Weyl semimetals are capable, due to chiral anomaly, of a nearly dissipationless current in the presence of a chirality imbalance and magnetic field (Chiral Magnetic Effect). We propose an implementation of the qubit based on this. Superconducting qubits require low operating temperatures and are limited in operating frequency by the superconducting gap—two limitations that the "chiral qubit" could potentially overcome. I will present our theoretical model and estimates regarding the chiral qubit.
