Unexpected Temperature Dependence of Spin Qubit Frequencies

As spin-based quantum processors grow in size and complexity, maintaining high fidelities and minimizing crosstalk will be essential for the successful implementation of quantum algorithms and error-correction protocols. In particular, recent experiments have highlighted pernicio ...
Future quantum computers capable of solving relevant problems will require a large number of qubits that can be operated reliably1. However, the requirements of having a large qubit count and operating with high fidelity are typically conflicting. Spins in semiconductor quantum d ...
Spin qubits in silicon have emerged as a promising candidate for a scalable quantum computer due to their small footprint, long coherence times, and their compatibility with advanced semiconductor manufacturing. However, all known spin qubit material hosts come with specific chal ...
Atom probes generate three-dimensional atomic-scale tomographies of material volumes corresponding to the size of modern-day solid-state devices. Here, the capabilities of atom probe tomography are evaluated to analyze buried interfaces in semiconductor heterostructures relevant ...
We grow 28Si/SiGe heterostructures by reduced-pressure chemical vapor deposition and terminate the stack without an epitaxial Si cap but with an amorphous Si-rich layer obtained by exposing the SiGe barrier to dichlorosilane at 500 °C. As a result, 28Si/SiGe heterostructure field ...
Electron spins in Si/SiGe quantum wells suffer from nearly degenerate conduction band valleys, which compete with the spin degree of freedom in the formation of qubits. Despite attempts to enhance the valley energy splitting deterministically, by engineering a sharp interface, va ...
The most promising quantum algorithms require quantum processors that host millions of quantum bits when targeting practical applications1. A key challenge towards large-scale quantum computation is the interconnect complexity. In current solid-state qubit implementati ...
Electrons and holes confined in quantum dots define excellent building blocks for quantum emergence, simulation, and computation. Silicon and germanium are compatible with standard semiconductor manufacturing and contain stable isotopes with zero nuclear spin, thereby serving as ...
We determine the energy splitting of the conduction-band valleys in two-dimensional electrons confined to low-disorder Si quantum wells. We probe the valley splitting dependence on both perpendicular magnetic field B and Hall density by performing activation energy measurements i ...
Continuing advancements in quantum information processing have caused a paradigm shift from research mainly focused on testing the reality of quantum mechanics to engineering qubit devices with numbers required for practical quantum computation. One of the major challenges in sca ...
