Published in APL: Prospects of silicide contacts for Si quantum devices

Metal contacts in semiconductor quantum electronic devices can offer advantages over doped contacts, but the formation of a Schottky barrier at the silicon–metal interface can lead to poor contacts at cryogenic temperatures. We investigate…

On arXiv: A Qubit with Simultaneously Maximized Speed and Coherence

To overcome the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computation, qubits have to be protected from their noisy environment to attain the necessary high fidelities. Recent experiments discovered sweet spots with strongly enhanced coherence.…

On arXiv: Fully autonomous tuning of a spin qubit

Identifying optimal operating conditions for semiconductor qubits is a highly complex process, involving the exploration of a vast parameter space. This presents a real ‘needle in the haystack’ problem, which, until now, has resisted…
