On-Chip Quantum-Dot Light Source for Quantum-Device Readout

Y.-Y. Liu, J. Stehlik, X. Mi +3 more

Microwave readout of charge states and spin states is important for quantum information science, but is difficult to scale to a large number of qubits, due to cost and the size of the components required to faithfully transmit the signal from room temperature to mK qubit temperatures. In this study, a voltage-biased semiconductor double quantum dot is used to generate microwave photons, yielding a cryogenic on-chip source for charge-state readout. Surprisingly, the emission properties of the double dot are affected by other qubits placed in the same microwave cavity. These results should facilitate the development of a large quantum processor to realize true quantum supremacy.

Conditional Dispersive Readout of a CMOS Single-Electron Memory Cell

Simon Schaal, Sylvain Barraud, John J. L. Morton +1 more

For direct interfacing of digital and quantum electronics in quantum computation, mature CMOS technology, with its potential for large-scale integration and data management, offers solutions for control, readout, and fast data processing with large numbers of qubits. The authors combine three likely components of an all-CMOS quantum computer---a quantum-dot transistor, a digital transistor for control, and an rf readout circuit---to yield a single-electron memory cell. The digital transistor locks charge on the quantum-dot gate and allows conditional readout via gate-based rf reflectometry, demonstrating the building blocks for time-multiplexed readout of multiqubit devices.

Integrated multiplexed microwave readout of silicon quantum dots in a cryogenic CMOS chip

Andrea Ruffino, Tsung-Yeh Yang, John Michniewicz +3 more

Solid-state quantum computers require classical electronics to control and readout individual qubits and to enable fast classical data processing [1-3]. Integrating both subsystems at deep cryogenic temperatures [4], where solid-state quantum processors operate best, may solve some major scaling challenges, such as system size and input/output (I/O) data management [5]. Spin qubits in silicon quantum dots (QDs) could be monolithically integrated with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) electronics using very-large-scale integration (VLSI) and thus leveraging over wide manufacturing experience in the semiconductor industry [6]. However, experimental demonstrations of integration using industrial CMOS at mK temperatures are still in their infancy. Here we present a cryogenic integrated circuit (IC) fabricated using industrial CMOS technology that hosts three key ingredients of a silicon-based quantum processor: QD arrays (arranged here in a non-interacting 3x3 configuration), digital electronics to minimize control lines using row-column addressing and analog LC resonators for multiplexed readout, all operating at 50 mK. With the microwave resonators (6-8 GHz range), we show dispersive readout of the charge state of the QDs and perform combined time- and frequency-domain multiplexing, enabling scalable readout while reducing the overall chip footprint. This modular architecture probes the limits towards the realization of a large-scale silicon quantum computer integrating quantum and classical electronics using industrial CMOS technology.

Development of a Silicon Semiconductor Quantum Dot Qubit with Dispersive Microwave Readout

Edward Henry

Semiconductor quantum dots in silicon demonstrate exceptionally long spin lifetimes as qubits and are therefore promising candidates for quantum information processing. However, control and readout techniques for these devices have thus far employed low frequency electrons, in contrast to high speed temperature readout techniques used in other qubit architectures, and coupling between multiple quantum dot qubits has not been satisfactorily addressed.This dissertation presents the design and characterization of a semiconductor charge qubit based on double quantum dot in silicon with an integrated microwave resonator for control and readout. The 6 GHz resonator is designed to achieve strong coupling with the quantum dot qubit, allowing the use of circuit QED control and readout techniques which have not previously been applicable to semiconductor qubits. To achieve this coupling, this document demonstrates successful operation of a novel silicon double quantum dot design with a single active metallic layer and a coplanar stripline resonator with a bias tee for dc excitation.Experiments presented here demonstrate quantum localization and measurement of both electrons on the quantum dot and photons in the resonator. Further, it is shown that the resonator-qubit coupling in these devices is sufficient to reach the strong coupling regime of circuit QED. The details of a measurement setup capable of performing simultaneous low noise measurements of the resonator and quantum dot structure are also presented here.The ultimate aim of this research is to integrate the long coherence times observed in electron spins in silicon with the sophisticated readout architectures available in circuit QED based quantum information systems. This would allow superconducting qubits to be coupled directly to semiconductor qubits to create hybrid quantum systems with separate quantum memory and processing components.

Silicon CMOS architecture for a spin-based quantum computer

Menno Veldhorst, H. G. J. Eenink, C. H. Yang +1 more

Recent advances in quantum error correction codes for fault-tolerant quantum computing and physical realizations of high-fidelity qubits in multiple platforms give promise for the construction of a quantum computer based on millions of interacting qubits. However, the classical-quantum interface remains a nascent field of exploration. Here, we propose an architecture for a silicon-based quantum computer processor based on complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. We show how a transistor-based control circuit together with charge-storage electrodes can be used to operate a dense and scalable two-dimensional qubit system. The qubits are defined by the spin state of a single electron confined in quantum dots, coupled via exchange interactions, controlled using a microwave cavity, and measured via gate-based dispersive readout. We implement a spin qubit surface code, showing the prospects for universal quantum computation. We discuss the challenges and focus areas that need to be addressed, providing a path for large-scale quantum computing.

Frequency multiplexing for readout of spin qubits

J. M. Hornibrook, James Colless, Alice Mahoney +5 more

We demonstrate a low loss, chip-level frequency multiplexing scheme for readout of scaled-up spin qubit devices. By integrating separate bias tees and resonator circuits on-chip for each readout channel, we realise dispersive gate-sensing in combination with charge detection based on two radio frequency quantum point contacts. We apply this approach to perform multiplexed readout of a double quantum dot in the few-electron regime and further demonstrate operation of a 10-channel multiplexing device. Limitations for scaling spin qubit readout to large numbers of multiplexed channels are discussed.
