Semiconductor system with transitional metal impurity for quantum information processing

Abstract

Methods and devices are disclosed for implementing quantum information processing based on electron spins in semiconductor and transition metal compositions. The transition metal electron orbitals split under semiconductor crystal field. The electron ground states are used as qubits. The transitions between the ground states involve electron spin flip. The semiconductor and transition metal compositions may be further included in optical cavities to facilitate quantum information processing. Quantum logic operations may be performed using single color or two color coherent resonant optical excitations via an excited electron state.

Identification and tunable optical coherent control of transition-metal spins in silicon carbide

Tom Bosma, Gerrit J. J. Lof, Carmem M. Gilardoni +9 more

Abstract Color centers in wide-bandgap semiconductors are attractive systems for quantum technologies since they can combine long-coherent electronic spin and bright optical properties. Several suitable centers have been identified, most famously the nitrogen-vacancy defect in diamond. However, integration in communication technology is hindered by the fact that their optical transitions lie outside telecom wavelength bands. Several transition-metal impurities in silicon carbide do emit at and near telecom wavelengths, but knowledge about their spin and optical properties is incomplete. We present all-optical identification and coherent control of molybdenum-impurity spins in silicon carbide with transitions at near-infrared wavelengths. Our results identify spin S = 1/2 for both the electronic ground and excited state, with highly anisotropic spin properties that we apply for implementing optical control of ground-state spin coherence. Our results show optical lifetimes of ~60 ns and inhomogeneous spin dephasing times of ~0.3 μs, establishing relevance for quantum spin-photon interfacing.

Method and apparatus for quantum information processing using entangled neutral-atom qubits

Yuan‐Yu Jau

A method for preparing an entangled quantum state of an atomic ensemble is provided. The method includes loading each atom of the atomic ensemble into a respective optical trap; placing each atom of the atomic ensemble into a same first atomic quantum state by impingement of pump radiation; approaching the atoms of the atomic ensemble to within a dipole-dipole interaction length of each other; Rydberg-dressing the atomic ensemble; during the Rydberg-dressing operation, exciting the atomic ensemble with a Raman pulse tuned to stimulate a ground-state hyperfine transition from the first atomic quantum state to a second atomic quantum state; and separating the atoms of the atomic ensemble by more than a dipole-dipole interaction length.

Spin-orbit qubit using quantum dots

Ryan Jock

Methods and apparatus of quantum information processing using quantum dots are provided. Electrons from a 2DEG are confined to the quantum dots and subjected to a magnetic field having a component directed parallel to the interface. Due to interfacial asymmetries, there is created an effective magnetic field that perturbs the energies of the spin states via an interfacial spin-orbit (SO) interaction. This SO interaction is utilized to controllably produce rotations of the electronic spin state, such as X-rotations of the electronic spin state in a double quantum dot (DQD) singlet-triplet (ST) qubit. The desired state rotations are controlled solely by the use of electrical pulses.
