Electrons levitating above the surface of liquid He are known to be the promising two-level quantum ensemble, which could become one of the leading contenders for a scalable quantum-computer implementation. Unfortunately, the need to operate at milli-Kelvin temperatures presents a major obstacle and adds to the complexity of the electrons-on-helium based quantum computer design. Previously, we proposed to use the similar electron system based on electrons levitating above solid hydrogen (or, better, neon) cryocrystals as alternative to the liquid-He substrate. Such substitution could help to avoid capillary-wave and high-vapor-pressure problems, and may shift the operation temperatures into the 1-4K range. Now, we present more thorough discussion of the problem and outline some relevant experiments.
