Semiconductor materials stacks for quantum dot spin qubits

Abstract

In this perspective piece, I benchmark gallium arsenide, silicon, and germanium as material platforms for gate-defined quantum dot spin qubits. I focus on materials stacks, quantum dot architectures, bandstructure properties and qualifiers for disorder from electrical transport. This brief note is far from being exhaustive and should be considered a first introduction to the materials challenges and opportunities towards a larger spin qubit quantum processor.

An edited version of this manuscript will appear as an article section in MRS Bulletin
