Confinement drives valley splitting above 4K in buried silicon quantum wells
Davide Degli Esposti, Emma Catherine Brann, Asser Elsayed +3
Controlling the energy scales of a quantum system is essential for defining robust qubits. In silicon spin qubits, the nearly degenerate conduction-band valleys create a leakage ch…

Omnidirectional shuttling to avoid valley excitations in Si/SiGe quantum wells
Róbert Németh, Vatsal K. Bandaru, Pedro Alves +7
Conveyor-mode shuttling is a key approach for implementing intermediate-range coupling between electron-spin qubits in quantum dots. Initial implementations are encouraging; howeve…

Valley Splitting Correlations Across a Silicon Quantum Well Containing Germanium
Jonathan C. Marcks, Emily Eagen, Emma C. Brann +12
Quantum dots in SiGe/Si/SiGe heterostructures host coherent electron spin qubits, which are promising for future quantum computers. The silicon quantum well hosts near-degenerate e…
