26. Because the proposed computer will be operated at temperatures (Formula presented) and Johnson noise can be viewed as the low-frequency limit of blackbody radiation 27, any Johnson noise in this computer will be at frequencies (Formula presented)

37. Very recently, Zanardi and Rossi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 4752 (1998)] have considered dephasing induced by acoustic phonon emission in QD’s with (Formula presented) rather than our 40 nm. The resulting (Formula presented) are several orders of magnitude shorter than predicted here, consistent with the much smaller parameter β.

41. The gate electrodes can be engineered to act as antennas, enhancing the vacuum electric field at the QD’s and hence shortening the time required for a C-NOT operation. This effect will be considered in a future publication.
