Broadband parametric amplification for multiplexed SiMOS quantum dot signals

Spins in semiconductor quantum dots hold great promise as building blocks of quantum processors. Trapping them in SiMOS transistor-like devices eases future industrial scale fabrication. Among the potentially scalable readout solutions, gate-based dispersive radiofrequency reflectometry only requires the already existing transistor gates to readout a quantum dot state, relieving the need for additional elements. In this effort towards scalability, traveling-wave superconducting parametric amplifiers significantly enhance the readout signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by reducing the noise below typical cryogenic low-noise amplifiers, while offering a broad amplification band, essential to multiplex the readout of multiple resonators. In this work, we demonstrate a 3GHz gate-based reflectometry readout of electron charge states trapped in quantum dots formed in SiMOS multi-gate devices, with SNR enhanced thanks to a Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier (JTWPA). The broad, tunable 2GHz amplification bandwidth combined with more than 10dB ON/OFF SNR improvement of the JTWPA enables frequency and time division multiplexed readout of interdot transitions, and noise performance near the quantum limit. In addition, owing to a design without superconducting loops and with a metallic ground plane, the JTWPA is flux insensitive and shows stable performances up to a magnetic field of 1.2T at the quantum dot device, compatible with standard SiMOS spin qubit experiments.

Probing charge noise in few electron CMOS quantum dots

Charge noise is one of the main sources of environmental decoherence for spin qubits in silicon, presenting a major obstacle in the path towards highly scalable and reproducible qubit fabrication. Here we demonstrate in-depth characterization of the charge noise environment experienced by a quantum dot in a CMOS-fabricated silicon nanowire. We probe the charge noise for different quantum dot configurations, finding that it is possible to tune the charge noise over two orders of magnitude, ranging from 1 ueV^2 to 100 ueV^2. In particular, we show that the top interface and the reservoirs are the main sources of charge noise and their effect can be mitigated by controlling the quantum dot extension. Additionally, we demonstrate a novel method for the measurement of the charge noise experienced by a quantum dot in the few electron regime. We measure a comparatively higher charge noise value of 40 ueV^2 at the first electron, and demonstrate that the charge noise is highly dependent on the electron occupancy of the quantum dot.

Parity and singlet-triplet high fidelity readout in a silicon double quantum dot at 0.5 K

We demonstrate singlet-triplet readout and parity readout allowing to distinguish T0 and the polarized triplet states. We achieve high fidelity spin readout with an average fidelity above $99.9\%$ for a readout time of $20~μ$s and $99\%$ for $4~μ$s at a temperature of $0.5~K$. We initialize a singlet state in a single dot with a fidelity higher than $99\%$ and separate the two electrons while keeping the same spin state with $a \approx 95.6\%$ fidelity.
