Sensitive radio-frequency measurements of a quantum dot by tuning to perfect impedance matching

Abstract

Electrical readout of spin qubits requires fast and sensitive measurements, but these are hindered by poor impedance matching to the device. We demonstrate perfect impedance matching in a radio-frequency readout circuit, realized by incorporating voltage-tunable varactors to cancel out parasitic capacitances. In the optimized setup, a capacitance sensitivity of $1.6\mathrm{aF}/\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ is achieved at a maximum source-drain bias of $170\mu$V root-mean-square and with bandwidth above $15$MHz. Coulomb blockade is measured via both conductance and capacitance in a quantum dot, and the two contributions are found to be proportional, as expected from a quasistatic tunneling model. We benchmark our results against the requirements for single-shot qubit readout using quantum capacitance, a goal that has so far been elusive.
