On arXiv: Phase driving hole spin qubits

The spin-orbit interaction in spin qubits enables spin-flip transitions, resulting in Rabi oscillations when an external microwave field is resonant with the qubit frequency. Here, we introduce an alternative driving mechanism of hole spin…

On arXiv: Hyperabrupt STO varactors for mK quantum dot reflectometry

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. We present a design employing…

On arXiv: Charge-sensing of a Ge/Si core/shell nanowire double quantum dot using a high-impedance superconducting resonator

Hole spin qubits in Ge/Si core/shell nanowires are promising candidates for scalable quantum information processing. Readout based on the current through the nanowire is easy to implement but also slow and not scalable. We employ a…
