Abstract
We propose an alternative concept for a scalable spin quantum computer that combines aspects of other proposals with the advantageous features of endohedral fullerenes. The key advantages are that electron spins instead of nuclear spins are used and that the manipulation of fullerene molecules is fairly easy. Qubits are set and read out via pulsed electron-spin resonance. Addressing is provided by local magnetic fields or field gradients gate). The qubit-qubit interaction is mediated by magnetic dipolar coupling and can be controlled via the direction of the magnetic field with respect to the distance vector of the qubits gate). Molecular as well as solid-state architectures are discussed.
