We analyze a quantum-computer design based on nuclear spin qubits in a quasi-one-dimensional chain of non-Kramers doublet atoms. We explore the use of spatial symmetry breaking to obtain control over the local dynamics of a qubit. We also study the decoherence mechanisms at the single qubit level and the interactions mediated by the magnetic media. The design can be realized in PrBr3−xFx with nuclear magnetic resonance techniques.
