Identifying and ameliorating dominant sources of decoherence are important steps in understanding improving quantum systems. Here we show that the free induction decay time ($T_{2}^{*}$) Rabi rate ($\Gamma_{\mathrm{Rabi}}$) dot hybrid qubit can be increased by more than an order magnitude appropriate tuning parameters operating points. By spin-like regime this qubit, choosing increase qubit's resilience to charge noise (which is presently limiting source for qubit), achieve a Ramsey...
Multi-electron semiconductor quantum dots have found wide application in qubits, where they enable readout and enhance polarizability. However, coherent control such has typically been restricted to only the lowest two levels, strongly interacting regime not realized. Here we report of eight different resonances a silicon-based dot. We use qubit perform spectroscopy, revealing dense set energy levels with characteristic spacing far smaller than single-particle energy. By comparing full...
Atomic-scale disorder at the top interface of a Si quantum well is known to suppress valley splitting. Such may be inherited from underlying substrate and relaxed buffer growth, but can also arise due random SiGe alloy. Here, we perform activation energy (transport) measurements in Hall regime determine source affecting We consider three Si/SiGe heterostructures with nominally identical substrates different barriers well, including two samples pure-Ge interfaces. For all samples, observe...
Abstract Universal quantum computation requires high-fidelity single-qubit rotations and controlled two-qubit gates. Along with gates, strong efforts have been made in developing robust logic gates electrically gated dot systems to realise a compact nanofabrication-compatible architecture. Here we perform measurements of state-conditional coherent oscillations charge qubit. Using quadruple formed Si/SiGe heterostructure, show the first demonstration two-axis control double qubit undoped...
We present an improved fabrication process for overlapping aluminum gate quantum dot devices on Si/SiGe heterostructures that incorporates low-temperature inter-gate oxidation, thermal annealing of oxide, on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and optimized interconnect budget considerations. This reduces gate-to-gate leakage, damage from ESD, dewetting formation undesired alloys in device interconnects. Additionally, cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM)...
Valley splitting affects the energy dispersion of silicon quantum dot qubits, and occasionally manifests itself through some striking features. Here, authors observe a strong correlation between unexpected ``sweet spots'' ``hot in coherence rates quantum-dot hybrid qubit anomalous features dispersion. Through tight-binding simulations, they are able to attribute such effects disorder at quantum-well interface speculate on possibility harnessing enhance times.
Achieving controllable coupling of dopants in silicon is crucial for operating donor-based qubit devices, but it difficult because the small size donor-bound electron wavefunctions. Here we report characterization a quantum dot coupled to localized electronic state, and present evidence between state. A set measurements transport through this device enable determination most likely location consistent with an electronically active impurity well near edge dot. The experiments are gate-voltage...
We report the fabrication and characterization of a gate-defined double quantum dot formed in Si/SiGe nanomembrane. In past, all dots heterostructures were on top strain-graded virtual substrates. The strain grading process necessarily introduces misfit dislocations into heterostructure, these defects introduce lateral inhomogeneities, mosaic tilt, threading dislocations. use SiGe nanomembrane as substrate enables relaxation to be entirely elastic, eliminating need for However, this approach...
To assess possible improvements in the electronic performance of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) silicon, SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructures are grown on fully elastically relaxed single-crystal SiGe nanomembranes produced through a strain engineering approach. This procedure eliminates formation dislocations heterostructure. Top-gated Hall bar devices fabricated to enable magnetoresistivity and effect measurements.

TUNNEL DIODE CIRCUITRY incorporating transistors has been used to gain advanced digital speeds while improving circuit reliability and stability. Major disadvantages in the use of tunnel diodes are: (1) common input-output, (2) inability obtain direct pulse inversion (3) bidirectional flow information, (4) difficulty stage-to-stage coupling caused by loading insufficient signal transfer. Circuitry using as emitter followers accomplishes steering impedance transformation. Nanosecond...
A discussion of various techniques usable in obtaining high-speed digital circuit operation is presented. To gain these advanced speeds, tunnel diodes have been incorporated into transistor circuitry.
