Preprint: Electron g-factor of valley states in realistic silicon quantum dots

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 …

PRB: Entangling distant resonant exchange qubits via circuit quantum electrodynamics

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 …

Talk: Dogs and cats, living together! How approaches to Josephson junction and spin-based quantum computing can learn from each other

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.

[1] Semiconductor-inspired design principles for superconducting quantum computing, Nature Communications 7, 11059 (2016 …

Talk: Silicon Quantum Information Technology

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 …
