Towards an optical interface to spin qubits

Zeng, Zheng

Connecting quantum processors over long distances using photon qubits would enable more complex quantum computing architectures and quantum networks. Recently a protocol to transfer a quantum state from a photonic qubit to a singlet-triplet spin qubit in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure has been theoretically demonstrated. In practice, the coherent transfer is facilitated by a hybrid device where a GaAs/AlGaAs gate-defined quantum dot (GDQD) is tunnel coupled to a self-assembled quantum dot (SAQD), in which a conversion between a photon state and a spin state takes place. This work addressed the three requirements of the optical-interface devices based on tunnel coupling between the GDQD and the SAQD: (i) a properly designed GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure where the two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) can be electrically tuned into resonance with the InAs SAQD; (ii) high-mobility 2DEG to form and operate a GDQD; (iii) precise alignment between the SAQD and the GDQD. It is proven that the InAs SAQD can be tuned to be charged, discharged, and resonant with the 2DEG by applying a local electric field.

The hybrid system of electron spins and resonator photons is an attractive architecture for quantum computing owing to the long coherence times of spins and the promise of long-distance coupling between arbitrary pairs of qubits via photons. For the device to serve as a building block for a quantum processer, it is also necessary to readout the spin qubit state. Here we analyze in detail the measurement process of an electron spin singlet-triplet qubit in quantum dots using a coupled superconducting resonator. We show that the states of the spin singlet-triplet qubit lead to readily observable features in the spectrum of a microwave field through the resonator. These features provide useful information on the hybrid system. Moreover, we discuss the working points which can be implemented with high performance in the current state-of-the-art devices. These results can be used to construct the high fidelity measurement toolbox in the spin-circuit QED system.

Spin measurement using cycling transitions of a two-electron quantum dot molecule

Y. L. Delley, Martin Kroner, Stefan Fält +2 more

Two-electron charged self-assembled quantum dot molecules exhibit a decoherence-avoiding singlet-triplet qubit subspace and an efficient spin-photon interface. Here, we demonstrate that the cycling transitions originating from auxiliary ground states in the same system allow for an efficient optical read-out of a singlet-triplet qubit. By implementing a spin-selective state transfer to the auxiliary state using a resonant laser field, we observe an improvement approaching two orders of magnitude in fidelity as compared to spin measurement by light scattering directly from the qubit states. Embedding the quantum dot molecule inside a low quality-factor micro-cavity structure should enable single-shot qubit read-out.

Self-assembled quantum dots in a fully tunable microcavity

Lukas Greuter

The interaction of light with matter is at the heart of quantum optics, which itself enables insight into the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. First experimental access to this research field has been realized by coupling atoms to light. Here, the transition between discrete energy states of the atom is associated with the absorption and emission of a photon, a single quantum of the electromagnetic field. As a central aspect of quantum optics, the light-emitter interaction can be significantly enhanced by placing the emitter in optical cavity that is on resonance with the emitter. In recent years, this has led to a rapidly evolving research field known as cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED). In CQED two different regimes are distinguished: the strong and the weak coupling regimes. In the strong coupling regime, the emitted photon is reflected from the cavity mirrors and eventually reabsorbed by the emitter. In contrast, the weak coupling regime describes the irreversible emission, where the photon leaks out of the cavity before it can be reabsorbed. Both the weak and strong coupling regimes enabled fundamental experiments for a better understanding of quantum optical phenomena. \n \n \n \nCQED grants access to the quantum world and hence offers potentially revolutionizing applications, particularly in the field of quantum information processing. A central aspect for the successful implementation of quantum applications is the system's scalability. Unfortunately, placing atoms deterministically inside a cavity remains technologically elaborate and hence minimizes the prospect of scaling a atom-CQED system. \n \nA possibility to address this issue is to implement CQED in the solid state, where sophisticated fabrication strategies allow miniaturization and scalability of the system. Particularly the development of self-assembled quantum dots (QD) in semiconductors represent a promising route. QDs can be considered as artificial atoms that mimic the atomic two-level system. These structures interact strongly with light and therefore have the potential for replacing atoms in CQED. As a central advantage, QDs are naturally trapped, which greatly simplifies the deterministic incorporation into the cavity. \n \nIn recent years, many efforts have been made to couple self-assembled QDs to microcavities. Generally, the successful implementation of CQED requires a cavity with a high quality factor Q and a low mode volume. In a majority of the approaches, the high Q/small mode volume cavities were monolithically defined around the QD, embedding the QD at a fixed position inside the cavity. Both the weak and strong coupling regimes have been reached with these systems. However, for future applications they suffer from several disadvantages. The fixed position of the QD inside the cavity minimizes the prospects for spectral tunability and spatial positioning the QD inside the cavity. Furthermore, prospects for further increasing of the cavity Q-factor and minimization of the mode volume remain limited in these systems. \n \nIn this thesis the mentioned disadvantages are addressed by developing a fully tunable miniaturized Fabry-Pérot microcavity with low mode volume. The design enables both spatial positioning of the emitter inside the cavity and spectral tunability. Successful coupling of a single QD to the microcavity is demonstrated including the strong coupling regime. Further a new approach to decrease the cavity mode volume is presented, where we demonstrate weak coupling is achieved
