Statistical characterization of valley coupling in Si/SiGe quantum dots via -factor measurements near a valley vortex

Benjamin D. Woods, Merritt P. Losert, Nasir R. Elston +5

The presence of low-energy valley excitations in Si/SiGe heterostructures often causes spin qubits to fail. It is therefore important to develop robust protocols for characterizing…
