Multiparticle entanglement of nuclear spins in silicon

Feng Xu, Yi Deng, Guangchong Hu +16 more

Silicon spin qubits offer high-fidelity control and semiconductor manufacturing compatibility. However, the systematic generation and characterization of multiparticle entanglement, a core resource for quantum information science, remain elusive in such systems. Here, we demonstrate the complete preparation of all nine canonical families of four-qubit entanglement between donor spins in silicon, by designing hardware-efficient quantum circuits that use native multi-qubit operations. We employ advanced overlapping tomography and multifaceted verification to fully characterize these states. Our results confirm genuine multiparticle entanglement, resolve their entanglement structure, and assess their robustness under qubit loss. Moreover, we observe significant violations of multiparticle Bell-type inequalities for genuine four-qubit nonlocality. On the prepared Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, we further uncover a noise-induced entanglement dynamics from distillable to bound and finally to separable, with bound entanglement unlocked via joint measurement. This work generates diverse entanglement resources alongside their complete characterization, establishing a foundation for entanglement-enabled quantum applications in silicon. Multiparticle entanglement in silicon spin qubits has been difficult to generate and fully characterize beyond three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Here, the authors demonstrate complete preparation and verification of all nine canonical families of four qubit entanglement in donor spins in silicon.

Precision tomography of a three-qubit electron-nuclear quantum processor in silicon

Mateusz Tomasz Mądzik, Serwan Asaad

Nuclear spins were among the first physical platforms to be considered for quantum information processing, because of their exceptional quantum coherence and atomic-scale footprint. However, their full potential for quantum computing has not yet been realized, due to the lack of methods to link nuclear qubits within a scalable device combined with multi-qubit operations with sufficient fidelity to sustain fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here we demonstrate universal quantum logic operations using a pair of ion-implanted 31P nuclei in a silicon nanoelectronic device. A nuclear two-qubit controlled-Z gate is obtained by imparting a geometric phase to a shared electron spin, and used to prepare entangled Bell states with fidelities up to 94.2(2.7)%. The quantum operations are precisely characterised using gate set tomography (GST), yielding one-qubit gate fidelities up to 99.93(3)%, two-qubit gate fidelity of 99.21(14)% and two-qubit preparation/measurement fidelities of 98.95(4)%. These three metrics indicate that nuclear spins in silicon are approaching the performance demanded in fault-tolerant quantum processors. We then demonstrate entanglement between the two nuclei and the shared electron by producing a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger three-qubit state with 92.5(1.0)% fidelity. Since electron spin qubits in semiconductors can be further coupled to other electrons or physically shuttled across different locations, these results establish a viable route for scalable quantum information processing using nuclear spins.
