Gate errors in solid state quantum computation
  We review our work on the interplay between non-resonant gates and solid state environment in various solid state quantum computer architectures and the resulting gate errors. Particular, we show that adiabatic condition can be satisfied in small quantum dots, while higher energy excited states can play important role in the evolution of a Cooper-pair-box based quantum computer model. We also show that complicated bandstructure such as that of Si can pose a severe gate control problem.
