I’ve been building Powerpoint-based quantum computers with electron spins in silicon for 19 years. Unfortunately, real-life-based quantum dot quantum computers are harder to implement. Fabrication, control, and materials challenges abound. The way to accelerate discovery is to make and measure more qubits. Here I discuss separating the qubit realization …

Existing schemes for semiconductor spin qubit readout involve either spin-to-charge conversion or electric dipole coupling to a superconducting resonator. The former requires destructive readout while the latter suffers from enhanced qubit dephasing, limiting the potential performance of quantum measurement: an open challenge in semiconductor quantum computing. Here we propose a …

We propose a non-destructive means of characterizing a semiconductor wafer via measuring the parameters of an induced quantum dot on the material system of interest with a separate probe chip that can also house the measurement circuitry. We show that a single wire can create the dot, determine if an …

We theoretically model the spin-orbit interaction in silicon quantum dot devices, relevant for quantum computation and spintronics. Our model is based on a modified effective mass approach which properly accounts for spin-valley boundary conditions, derived from the interface symmetry, and should have applicability for other heterostructures. We show how the …

We propose a non-destructive means of characterizing quantum dot parameters across a semiconductor wafer by inducing a quantum dot on the material system of interest with a separate probe chip that can also house the measurement circuitry. We show that a single wire can create the dot, determine if an …

We present a theory for understanding the exchange interaction between electron spins in neighboring quantum dots, either by changing the detuning of the two quantum dots or independently tuning the tunneling barrier between quantum dots. The Hubbard model and a more realistic confining-potential model are used to investigate how the …

We theoretically model the spin-orbit interaction in silicon quantum dot devices, relevant for quantum computation and spintronics. Our model is based on a modified effective mass approach with spin-valley boundary conditions, derived from the interface symmetry under presence of perpendicular to the interface electric field. The g-factor renormalization in the …

We investigate coupling an encoded spin qubit to a microwave resonator via qubit energy level curvature versus gate voltage. This approach enables quantum non-demolition readout with strength of tens to hundred MHz all while the qubit stays at its full sweet-spot to charge noise, with zero dipole moment. A “dispersive-like …

We investigate a hybrid quantum system consisting of spatially separated resonant exchange qubits, defined in three-electron semiconductor triple quantum dots, that are coupled via a superconducting transmission line resonator. Drawing on methods from circuit quantum electrodynamics and Hartmann-Hahn double resonance techniques, we analyze three specific approaches for implementing resonator-mediated two-qubit …
