Postdoc in the domain of coherent spin shuttling for scaling semiconductor qubits

Your Job :

Building on in-house fabricated devices, we have recently demonstrated the ability to shuttle electrons between gate defined quantum dots in Si / SiGe over micron-scale distances using only four different AC-voltages, independent of the distance covered . Theoretical consideration indicate good prospects for maintaining spin-coherence of the shuttled electron, which would make this approach very promising for scaling up semiconductor spin qubit devices. This position focuses on experimentally demonstrating coherent spin shuttling, shuttling-compatible high-fidelity qubit control and further ingredients for a shuttling-based architecture, using devices from academic or industrial fabrication.

Key activities can include :

• Demonstration and experimental characterization of spin coherence during shuttling
• Shuttling-compatible demonstration of high-fidelity qubit control
• Demonstration of T-Junctions (Fig. 1(b)) as step towards qubit grids
• Advancement of a shuttling based architecture with 2D-connectivity
• Migration to industrially fabricated devices
