Application of zero-noise extrapolation-based quantum error mitigation to a silicon spin qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Hanseo Sohn, Jaewon Jung, Jaemin Park, Hyeongyu Jang, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer | Summary: As quantum computing advances towards practical applications, reducing errors remains a crucial frontier for developing near-term devices. Errors in the quantum gates and quantum state readout could result in noisy circuits, which would […]

The spin lifetime of an individual atomic nucleus investigated via local-probe single-shot readout

Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Evert W. Stolte, Jinwon Lee, Hester Vennema, Rik Broekhoven, Esther Teng | Summary: Nuclear spins owe their long-lived magnetic states to their excellent isolation from their environment. At the same time, a limited degree of interaction with their surroundings is necessary for reading and writing the spin […]

Single-shot readout of the nuclear spin of an on-surface atom

Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Evert W. Stolte, Jinwon Lee, Hester G. Vennema, Rik Broekhoven, Esther Teng | Summary: Nuclear spins owe their long-lived magnetic states to their excellent isolation from the environment. At the same time, a finite degree of interaction with their surroundings is necessary for reading and writing the […]

Reducing disorder in Ge quantum wells by using thick SiGe barriers

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Yi Huang, Sara Martí-Sánchez, Davide Degli Esposti | Summary: We investigate the disorder properties of two-dimensional hole gases in Ge/SiGe heterostructures grown on Ge wafers, using thick SiGe barriers to mitigate the influence of the semiconductor-dielectric interface. Across several heterostructure field […]

Nonlinearity of transparent SNS weak links decreases sharply with length

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Valla Fatemi, Pavel D. Kurilovich, Anton R. Akhmerov, Bernard van Heck, | Summary: Superconductor-normal material-superconductor (SNS) junctions are being integrated into microwave circuits for fundamental and applied research goals. The short junction limit is a common simplifying assumption for experiments with SNS junctions, but this limit […]

Edge and bulk states in a three-site Kitaev chain

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Yining Zhang, Qingzhen Wang, Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu | Summary: A chain of quantum dots (QDs) coupled via semiconductor-superconductor hybrid regions can form an artificial Kitaev chain hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs). These zero-energy states are expected to be localised on the […]
