Appearing in Materials for Quantum Computation: High mobility SiMOSFETs fabricated in a full 300mm CMOS process

The quality of the gate stack affects the local disorder potential and plays a key role for hosting spin qubits. Here, we report a record electron mobility of 17'500 cm2/Vs with sub-10nm oxide with a PolySi gate, indicating a relatively low…
Bridging

On arXiv: Bridging the reality gap in quantum devices with physics-aware machine learning

We employ physics-aware machine learning to infer the disorder potential of a nanoscale electronic device from electron transport data. The algorithm uses an approach combining a physical model, deep learning, Gaussian random fields, and…

Perspective in EPN: Breaking the Millikelvin Barrier in Nanoelectronics

The fall issue of Europhysics News is featuring the perspectives on "Breaking the Millikelvin Barrier in Nanoelectronics" from Rich Haley, Jonathan Prance (Lancaster) and Dominik Zumbühl (Basel). In labs across Europe physicists are pushing…
Microkelvin

On arXiv: Microkelvin electronics on a pulse-tube cryostat with a gate Coulomb blockade thermometer

Pushing the limits of on-chip temperatures deep into the microkelvin regime would open the door to unprecedented quantum coherence, novel quantum states of matter, and also the discovery of unexpected phenomena. Here, we present a…
