I will talk about two of our recent proposals for quantum computers based on superconducting JJ circuits [1] and spins in semiconductors [2]: what motivated them, why they are worth pursuing experimentally, and directions for future research.

We introduce an always-on, exchange-only (AEON) qubit made up of three localized semiconductor spins that offers a true “sweet spot” to fluctuations of the quantum dot energy levels. Both single- and two-qubit gate operations can be performed using only exchange pulses while maintaining this sweet spot. We show how to …

Information technology based on the fundamental nature of the universe, namely quantum physics, can in some cases dramatically outperform the best “classical” solution. In other words, a quantum computer will be important someday. But the challenges are still immense. Somewhat surprisingly, silicon may continue to be an exceptionally relevant material …

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 …

Although the properties of spin-based qubits are specified by the material system they reside in, it’s possible to modify those properties by encoding a qubit into multiple physical spins. Here we consider new operating regimes for encoded spin qubits and discuss their relevance to spin-based quantum computing and qubit-qubit …
