Eight-Qubit Operation of a 300 mm SiMOS Foundry-Fabricated Device

Silicon spin qubits are a promising platform for quantum computing due to their high coherence, controllability, and CMOS manufacturability, yet scalable implementations have so far been limited to a few qubits. Here, to take a step towards larger qubit systems, we tune and coherently control an eight-dot linear array of silicon spin qubits fabricated in a 300~mm CMOS-compatible foundry process, establishing operational scalability beyond the two-qubit regime. All eight qubits are successfully tuned and characterized as four double-dot pairs, exhibiting Ramsey dephasing times $T_2^*$ up to 41(2)$~\mu$s and Hahn-echo coherence times $T_2^{\mathrm{Hahn}}$ up to 1.31(4)$~$ms. Readout of the central four qubits is achieved via a cascaded charge-sensing protocol, enabling high-fidelity measurements of the entire multi-qubit array in a two step process. Additionally, we demonstrate a two-qubit gate operation between adjacent qubits with low phase noise. We show that silicon spin qubit arrays can be scaled to medium-sized arrays of 8 qubits while maintaining system coherence.

Roadmap for gallium arsenide spin qubits

Gate-defined quantum dots in gallium arsenide (GaAs) have been used extensively for pioneering spin qubit devices due to the relative simplicity of fabrication and favourable electronic properties such as a single conduction band valley, a small effective mass, and stable dopants. GaAs spin qubits are readily produced in many labs and are currently studied for various applications, including entanglement, quantum non-demolition measurements, automatic tuning, multi-dot arrays, coherent exchange coupling, and teleportation. Even while much attention is shifting to other materials, GaAs devices will likely remain a workhorse for proof-of-concept quantum information processing and solid-state experiments.

A silicon quantum-dot-coupled nuclear spin qubit

Single nuclear spins in the solid state have long been envisaged as a platform for quantum computing, due to their long coherence times and excellent controllability. Measurements can be performed via localised electrons, for example those in single atom dopants or crystal defects. However, establishing long-range interactions between multiple dopants or defects is challenging. Conversely, in lithographically-defined quantum dots, tuneable interdot electron tunnelling allows direct coupling of electron spin-based qubits in neighbouring dots. Moreover, compatibility with semiconductor fabrication techniques provides a compelling route to scaling to large numbers of qubits. Unfortunately, hyperfine interactions are typically too weak to address single nuclei. Here we show that for electrons in silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dots the hyperfine interaction is sufficient to initialise, read-out and control single silicon-29 nuclear spins, yielding a combination of the long coherence times of nuclear spins with the flexibility and scalability of quantum dot systems. We demonstrate high-fidelity projective readout and control of the nuclear spin qubit, as well as entanglement between the nuclear and electron spins. Crucially, we find that both the nuclear spin and electron spin retain their coherence while moving the electron between quantum dots, paving the way to long range nuclear-nuclear entanglement via electron shuttling. Our results establish nuclear spins in quantum dots as a powerful new resource for quantum processing.

Charge Offset Stability in Si Single Electron Devices with Al Gates

We report on the charge offset drift (time stability) in Si single electron devices (SEDs) defined with aluminum (Al) gates. The size of the charge offset drift (0.15 $e$) is intermediate between that of Al/AlO$_x$/Al tunnel junctions (greater than 1 $e$) and Si SEDs defined with Si gates (0.01 $e$). This range of values suggests that defects in the AlO$_x$ are the main cause of the charge offset drift instability.
