We present the basic elements for a modular architecture for time-bin encoded qubits based on quantum Hall edge channels, forming the foundation of a scalable electronic quantum information platform named TEMPO (Time-binned Electronic Modular Platform for Qubits). Quantum states are encoded in temporally separated edge magnetoplasmon (EMP) wave packets propagating along a single chiral edge, eliminating the need for spatial path separation and enhancing coherence. The platform supports full qubit operations\unicodex2013including initialization, phase modulation, readout, and two-qubit entangling gates\unicodex2013by leveraging dynamically tunable quantum point contacts and electrostatic control of interferometric loops. We consider the linear dispersion and gate-induced velocity control on EMP propagation and describe strategies for maintaining waveform integrity. Various single-electron sources, including ohmic injection and capacitive excitation, are discussed in the context of coherence. Multi-qubit operations are enabled through synchronized injection and engineered Coulomb interactions between adjacent channels, while single-qubit readout is addressed via spin-based or capacitive charge sensors. Our approach integrates gate-tunable coherent control of chiral edge states, offering a comprehensive pathway toward scalable electron quantum optics in solid-state platforms.
