Published in PRAppl: Cryogenic hyperabrupt strontium titanate varactors for sensitive reflectometry of quantum dots

Radio frequency reflectometry for qubit readout enables high bandwidth but requires careful impedance matching which is challenging to do in-situ at mK temperatures due to freeze-out of GaAs varactors. In this manuscript, we present a…

Published in PRL: Phase driving of hole spin qubits

The spin-orbit interaction in spin qubits enables Rabi oscillations when an external microwave field is resonant with the qubit frequency. In this work, we introduce an alternative driving mechanism of hole spin qubits, where a far-detuned…
