PHYSICS MATTERS: "Building small, fast and hot Si spin qubits" by Prof. Dominik Zumbühl

By Christine Marie-Therese Darve posted 05-10-2022
Be the first person to recommend this.
Save the time and Join us Thursday, June 30 at 4 pm CET (10 am ET): REGISTER HERE Abstract : Quantum computers promise to execute complex tasks exponentially faster than any possible classical computer. Qubits based on hole spins in 1D Ge/Si nanowire are predicted to experience an exceptionally strong yet electrically tunable spin–orbit interaction. Here we used small gate voltage changes to tune the Rabi frequency and the driven coherence time by about a factor of 7, and its Landé g-factor by 50%. We can thus tune from a fast manipulation to an idle mode, demonstrating a spin–orbit switch. Finally, we used this control to optimize our qubit ...
