Published in PRL: Isotropic and Anisotropic g-Factor Corrections in GaAs Quantum Dots

The spin splitting defines the energy of the spin qubit and is one of the fundamental properties of a spin in a B-field. Here, we measure and separate the isotropic and anisotropic corrections to the g-factor in two GaAs devices, finding…

On arXiv: Machine Learning Tuning of Silicon and SiGe-based Quantum Devices

Device-to-device variability and disorder in spin qubits makes it currently necessary to individually tune each device in a large-dimensional gate space to find the optimal conditions for qubit operation. We take a key step with a…

npj Quantum Information: Finding bias triangles with deep reinforcement learning

Deep reinforcement learning is an emerging machine learning approach which can teach a computer to learn from actions and rewards similar to the way humans learn from experience. Here, we use this approach for fully automatic identification…

On arXiv: High mobility SiMOSFETs fabricated in a full 300mm CMOS process

The quality of SiMOSFET gate stacks plays a key role for hosting spin qubits. Here, we report a record electron mobility of 17'500 cm2/Vs with sub-10nm oxide, indicating a relatively low disorder FET. We find very good agreement with the…

Published in PRB: Low-symmetry nanowires for enhanced Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction

While the Dresselhaus SOI is suppressed for select zinc-blende nanowire growth directions and confinements, some configurations allow for a strong Dresselhaus SOI. A similarly strong Rashba term can be gate-induced, providing a means to…
