Signal and Charge Transfer Efficiency of Few Electrons Clocked on Microscopic Superfluid Helium Channels

Abstract

Electrons floating on the surface of liquid helium are possible spin-qubits for quantum information processing. Varying electric potentials are not expected to modify spin states, which allows their transport on helium using a charge-coupled device (CCD)-like array of underlying gates. This approach depends upon efficient inter-gate transfer of individual electrons. Measurements are presented here of the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) of few electrons clocked back and forth above a short microscopic CCD-like structure. A charge transfer efficiency of 0.99999992 is obtained for a clocking frequency of 800 kHz.
