In this article, based on the former accurate and precise ab initio calculation results for potassium nitride (KN) and calcium nitride (CaN), I revisit the possibilities and potentials of KN and CaN as the best candidate for molecular multiple quantum bit (MMQB) for the diatomic molecular quantum computer (DMQC), and would like to propose the two molecules as CPUs of the DMQC. Lowest lying four electronic states of CaN are energetically located within 1800 cm −1 . These four states form the good molecular electronic two quantum bits through the dipole and weak spin–orbit interactions. 3 Π state of KN is calculated to lie above ground 3 Σ − state by 177 cm −1 . KN is a promising candidate for an electronic one quantum bit. When vibrational progression is considered to be accompanied by the electronic transition, CaN and KN are good candidates for larger MMQBs up to a thousand even in the single molecule because the concrete quantum state bearing the quantum bit is each molecular ro‐vibronic state, that is, the specific rotational state on each vibronic level. When CaN and KN work in assemblies as quantum bit, those assemblies become larger MMQBs, the number of which might reach the Avogadro number because the molecular spectra appearing in the molecular spectroscopy are the results from the observation by the photon‐exchange among intramolecular quantum states made up of 10 15 to the Avogadro (6.02 × 10 23 mol −1 ) number of molecules interacting with radiation. Even without the vibrational progression, in the case of the lowest two quantum bit of KN, which is a stable vibronic two quantum bit, a thousand of KN molecules provide a thousand of MMQBs. That is the same situation as that for CaN. Using KN and CaN as MMQBs (playing the triple roles of CPU, RAMs (memory), and storages) ultra‐fast “in core” quantum computation can be done. An application of the full‐CI quantum chemistry calculation results for the demonstration of the DMQC is discussed. I strongly hope that the MMQB will “oscillate” and that the DMQC will be realized in the near future for the welfare of human being and the further development of modern material civilization. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
