All-electrical universal control of a double quantum dot qubit in silicon MOS

Technical Digest - International Electron Devices Meeting, IEDM

Harvey-Collard, Patrick; Jock, Ryan M.; Jacobson, Noah T.; Baczewski, Andrew D.; Mounce, Andrew M.; Curry, Matthew J.; Ward, Daniel R.; Anderson, John M.; Manginell, Ronald P.; Wendt, J.R.; Rudolph, Martin R.; Pluym, Tammy P.; Lilly, Michael L.; Pioro-Ladrière, Michel; Carroll, Malcolm

Qubits based on transistor-like Si MOS nanodevices are promising for quantum computing. In this work, we demonstrate a double quantum dot spin qubit that is all-electrically controlled without the need for any external components, like micromagnets, that could complicate integration. Universal control of the qubit is achieved through spin-orbit-like and exchange interactions. Using single shot readout, we show both DC- and AC-control techniques. The fabrication technology used is completely compatible with CMOS.

Valley splitting of single-electron Si MOS quantum dots

Applied Physics Letters

Gamble, John K.; Harvey-Collard, Patrick; Jacobson, Noah T.; Baczewski, Andrew D.; Nielsen, Erik N.; Maurer, Leon; Montano, Ines M.; Rudolph, Martin R.; Carroll, Malcolm; Yang, C.H.; Rossi, A.; Dzurak, A.S.; Muller, Richard P.

Silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dots are prominent candidates for high-fidelity, manufacturable qubits. Due to silicon's band structure, additional low-energy states persist in these devices, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Although the physics governing these valley states has been the subject of intense study, quantitative agreement between experiment and theory remains elusive. Here, we present data from an experiment probing the valley states of quantum dot devices and develop a theory that is in quantitative agreement with both this and a recently reported experiment. Through sampling millions of realistic cases of interface roughness, our method provides evidence that the valley physics between the two samples is essentially the same.

Stopping of Deuterium in Warm Dense Deuterium from Ehrenfest Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory

Contributions to Plasma Physics

Magyar, Rudolph J.; Shulenburger, Luke N.; Baczewski, Andrew D.

In these proceedings, we show that time-dependent density functional theory is capable of stopping calculations at the extreme conditions of temperature and pressure seen in warm dense matter. The accuracy of the stopping curves tends to be up to about 20% lower than empirical models that are in use. However, TDDFT calculations are free from fitting parameters and assumptions about the model form of the dielectric function. This work allows the simulation of ion stopping in many materials that are difficult to study experimentally. (© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim).

X-ray Thomson Scattering in Warm Dense Matter without the Chihara Decomposition

Physical Review Letters

Baczewski, Andrew D.; Shulenburger, L.; Desjarlais, M.P.; Hansen, S.B.; Magyar, R.J.

X-ray Thomson scattering is an important experimental technique used to measure the temperature, ionization state, structure, and density of warm dense matter (WDM). The fundamental property probed in these experiments is the electronic dynamic structure factor. In most models, this is decomposed into three terms [J. Chihara, J. Phys. F 17, 295 (1987)] representing the response of tightly bound, loosely bound, and free electrons. Accompanying this decomposition is the classification of electrons as either bound or free, which is useful for gapped and cold systems but becomes increasingly questionable as temperatures and pressures increase into the WDM regime. In this work we provide unambiguous first principles calculations of the dynamic structure factor of warm dense beryllium, independent of the Chihara form, by treating bound and free states under a single formalism. The computational approach is real-time finite-temperature time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) being applied here for the first time to WDM. We compare results from TDDFT to Chihara-based calculations for experimentally relevant conditions in shock-compressed beryllium.
