Abstract Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) strongly modulate the shallow electric potential in piezoelectric materials. In semiconductor heterostructures such as GaAs/AlGaAs, SAWs can thus be employed to transfer individual electrons between distant quantum dots. This mechanism makes SAW technologies a promising candidate convey information through circuit of logic gates. Here we present two essential building blocks SAW-driven circuit. First, implement directional coupler allowing partition...

The synthesis of single-cycle pulses compressed light and microwave signals sparked novel areas fundamental research. In the field acoustics, however, such a generation has not been introduced yet. For numerous applications, large spatial extent surface acoustic waves (SAW) causes unwanted perturbations limits accuracy physical manipulations. Particularly, this restriction applies to SAW-driven quantum experiments with single flying electrons, where extra modulation renders exact position...
Surface acoustic waves (SAW) have large potential to realize quantum-optics-like experiments with single flying electrons employing their spin or charge degree of freedom. For such quantum applications, highly efficient trapping the electron in a specific moving dot (QD) SAW train plays key role. Probabilistic transport over multiple minima would cause uncertainty synchronisation that is detrimental for coherence entangled and in-flight operations. It thus central importance identify device...
The electron wave function experiences a phase modification at coherent transmission through quantum dot. This undergoes characteristic shift of $\pi$ when scanning Coulomb-blockade resonance. Between successive resonances either lapse or plateau is theoretically expected to occur depending on the parity corresponding dot states. Despite considerable experimental effort, this behaviour has remained elusive for large Here we report measurements across such hosting hundreds electrons. Using an...

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are a reliable solution to the transport of single electrons with precision in piezoelectric semiconductor devices. Recently, highly efficient single-electron strongly compressed single-cycle pulse has been demonstrated. This approach, however, requires surface gates constituting quantum dots, their wiring, and multiple gate movements load unload electrons, which is very time-consuming. Here, on contrary, we employ such much simpler way---without any dot at...

However, controlled interaction electrons at single particle level has not yet been established experimentally. Here we report antibunching pair...
Spin qubits in silicon are strong contenders for realizing a practical quantum computer. This technology has made remarkable progress with the demonstration of single and two-qubit gates above fault-tolerant threshold entanglement up to three qubits. However, maintaining high fidelity operations while executing multi-qubit algorithms remained elusive, only being achieved two spin date due small qubit size, which makes it difficult control without creating crosstalk errors. Here, we use...
Electronic flying qubits offer an interesting alternative to photonic qubits: electrons propagate slower, hence easier control in real time, and Coulomb interaction enables direct entanglement between different qubits. While their coherence time is limited, picosecond-scale would make them competitive terms of number possible coherent operations. The key challenge lies achieving the dynamical regime, where injected plasmonic pulse width shorter than quantum device dimensions. Here we reach...

In this work we experimentally demonstrate generation of current in an unbiased (drag) wire, which results from interactions with neighboring biased (drive) wire. The direction depends on length one-dimensional wire respect to position barrier When additionally form potential drive is determined relative barriers. interpret behavior terms electron...
