contents Quantum computers allow to solve efficiently certain problems that are intractable for classical computers. For the realization of a quantum computer, a qubit design as the basic building block is a nontrivial starting point. We propose the utilization of nanoscale magnetic domain walls, which are stabilized by achiral energy, as the building blocks for a universal quantum computer made of ferromagnetic racetracks. In contrast to the domain walls stabilized by conventional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, these achiral domain walls are bistable and show two degenerate chirality forms. When the domain wall is extremely small, it can be viewed as a quantum mechanical object and the two degenerate chiralities of the domain walls can be used to encode the qubit states $\lvert 0 \rangle$ and $\lvert 1 \rangle$. We show that the single-qubit quantum gates are regulated by magnetic and electric fields, while the Ising exchange coupling facilitates the two-qubit gates. The integration of these quantum gates allows for a universal quantum computation. Our findings demonstrate a promising approach for achieving quantum computing through spin textures that exist in ferromagnetic materials.

Quantum computers allow to solve efficiently certain problems that are intractable for classical computers. For the realization of a quantum computer, a qubit design as the basic building block is a nontrivial starting point. We propose the utilization of nanoscale magnetic domain walls, which are stabilized by achiral energy, as the building blocks for a universal quantum computer made of ferromagnetic racetracks. In contrast to the domain walls stabilized by conventional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, these achiral domain walls are bistable and show two degenerate chirality forms. When the domain wall is extremely small, it can be viewed as a quantum mechanical object and the two degenerate chiralities of the domain walls can be used to encode the qubit states $\lvert 0 \rangle$ and $\lvert 1 \rangle$. We show that the single-qubit quantum gates are regulated by magnetic and electric fields, while the Ising exchange coupling facilitates the two-qubit gates. The integration of these quantum gates allows for a universal quantum computation.
