Popis: In this work, using density functional theory, the behavior of a boron acceptor in bulk silicon is studied. Calculations are performed in order to analyze the quantum state of the hole qubit and the electrostatic characteristics of the bulk B:Si system. For the first time, it is shown that the |0 > hole spin state with $$m_{Z} = + 1$$ (spin up orientation) mostly corresponds to the $$m = + \frac{1}{2}; + \frac{3}{2}$$ energy states in the band structure. Implantation of a boron atom causes the charge density of the Si–B bond with the nearest silicon atom to increase, reaching a maximum at the boron atom. This effect causes an increase in the electrostatic potential at the Si and B atoms of 7.33 and 2.16 eV, respectively. These results are very important and promising for the physics of solid-state quantum computers.
