Abstract

We
show that particle detectors, such as 2-level atoms, in non-inertial motion (or
in gravitational fields) could be used to build quantum gates for the
processing of quantum information. Concretely, we show that through
suitably chosen non-inertial trajectories of the detectors the interaction
Hamiltonian's time dependence can be modulated to yield arbitrary rotations in the
Bloch sphere due to relativistic quantum effects.
