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…

On arXiv: A spin qubit in a fin field-effect transistor

Scaling up is quantum computing's greatest challenge. Silicon fin field-effect transistors (finFETs) are the pinnacle of decades of large scale integration and scaling to billions of transistors each of few-nm size. Here, we demonstrate…
