The spin degree of freedom an electron or a nucleus is one the most basic properties nature and functions as excellent qubit, it provides natural two-level system that insensitive to electric fields, leading long quantum coherence times. We review physics semiconductor qubits, focusing not only on early achievements initialization, control, readout in GaAs dots, but also recent advances Si Ge including improved charge control readout, coupling other degrees freedom, scaling larger sizes....

We develop a layered quantum computer architecture, which is systematic framework for tackling the individual challenges of developing while constructing cohesive device design. discuss many prominent techniques implementing circuit-model computing and introduce several new methods, with an emphasis on employing surface code error correction. In doing so, we propose architecture based optical control dots. The timescales physical hardware operations logical, error-corrected gates differ by...

We demonstrate improved operation of exchange-coupled semiconductor quantum dots by substantially reducing the sensitivity exchange operations to charge noise. The method involves biasing a double dot symmetrically between charge-state anticrossings, where derivative energy with respect gate voltages is minimized. Exchange remains highly tunable adjusting tunnel coupling. find that this reduces dephasing effect noise more than factor 5 in comparison near anticrossing, increasing number...

Like modern microprocessors today, future processors of quantum information may be implemented using all-electrical control silicon-based devices. A semiconductor spin qubit controlled without the use magnetic fields by three electrons in tunnel-coupled dots. Triple dots have previously been GaAs, but this material suffers from intrinsic nuclear noise. Reduction noise is possible fabricating devices isotopically purified silicon. We demonstrate universal coherent a triple-quantum-dot an...

Qubits encoded in a decoherence-free subsystem and realized exchange-coupled silicon quantum dots are promising candidates for fault-tolerant computing. Benefits of this approach include excellent coherence, low control crosstalk, configurable insensitivity to certain error sources. Key difficulties that entangling gates require large number pulses high-yielding dot arrays. Here we show device made using the single-layer etch-defined gate electrode architecture achieves both required...

We describe a quantum repeater protocol for long-distance communication. In this scheme, entanglement is created between qubits at intermediate stations of the channel by using weak dispersive light-matter interaction and distributing outgoing bright coherent-light pulses among stations. Noisy entangled pairs electronic spin are then prepared with high success probability via homodyne detection postselection. The local gates purification swapping deterministic measurement-free, based upon...

A solid-state implementation of a quantum computer composed entirely silicon is proposed. Qubits are 29Si nuclear spins arranged as chains in 28Si (spin-0) matrix with Larmor frequencies separated by large magnetic field gradient. No impurity dopants or electrical contacts needed. Initialization accomplished optical pumping, algorithmic cooling, and pseudo-pure state techniques. Magnetic resonance force microscopy used for ensemble measurement.

We describe a system for long-distance distribution of quantum entanglement, in which coherent light with large average photon number interacts dispersively single, far-detuned atoms or semiconductor impurities optical cavities. Entanglement is heralded by homodyne detection using second bright pulse phase reference. The use pulses leads to high success probability the generation at cost lower initial fidelity. This fidelity may be boosted entanglement purification techniques, implemented...

Quantum communication typically involves a linear chain of repeater stations, each capable reliable local quantum computation and connected to their nearest neighbors by unreliable links. The rate existing protocols is low as two-way classical used. By using surface code across the generating Bell pairs between neighboring stations with probability heralded success greater than 0.65 fidelity 0.96, we show that can be avoided information sent over arbitrary distances arbitrarily error at...

We present a new control algorithm and system design for network of quantum repeaters, outline the end-to-end protocol architecture. Such will create long-distance states, supporting key distribution as well distributed computation. Quantum repeaters improve reduction quantum-communication throughput with distance from exponential to polynomial. Because state cannot be copied, repeater is not signal amplifier, but rather executes algorithms teleportation in conjunction specialized type error...

Silicon quantum dot spin qubits provide a promising platform for large-scale computation because of their compatibility with conventional CMOS manufacturing and the long coherence times accessible using $^{28}$Si enriched material. A scalable error-corrected processor, however, will require control many in parallel, while performing error detection across constituent qubits. Spin resonance techniques are convenient path to parallel two-axis control, Pauli blockade can be used realize local...

We demonstrate rapid high-fidelity state preparation and measurement in exchange-only Si/SiGe triple-quantum-dot qubits. Fast integration (980-ns) initialization (approximately 300-ns) operations are performed with all-electrical baseband control. emphasize a leakage-sensitive joint metric, developed the context of qubits but applicable more broadly, report an infidelity 2.5±0.5×10−3. This result is enabled by high-valley-splitting heterostructure, at two- to three-electron charge boundary,...

We report NMR experiments using high-power rf decoupling techniques to show that a $^{29}\mathrm{Si}$ nuclear spin in solid silicon crystal at room temperature can preserve quantum phase for ${10}^{9}$ precessional periods. The coherence times we are more than four orders of magnitude longer any other observed solid-state qubit. also examine magic-angle-spinning and isotopically altered samples.

In a large-scale quantum computer, the cost of communications will dominate performance and resource requirements, place many severe demands on technology, constrain architecture. Unfortunately, fault-tolerant computers based entirely photons with probabilistic gates, though equipped "built-in" communication, have very large overheads; likewise, reliable gates between or memories may lack sufficient communication resources in presence realistic optical losses. Here, we consider compromise...
