9. The possibility of using bilayer quantum dot quantum Hall states as quantum bits has very recently been considered by S.R. Yang et al, Phys. Rev. B10.1103/PhysRevB.66.153302 66, 153302 (2002). Our work differs significantly from Yang et al. in the sense that we have considered spontaneous interlayer coherence directly in the limit of zero tunneling (whereas Yang et al. considered the situation with explicit finite tunneling in an external gate voltage). The even-odd effect, the main prediction of our work, was not considered by Yang et al.
