Spin Qubits in Silicon and Germanium

Quantum computers based on semiconductor quantum dots are proving promising contenders for large scale quantum information processing. In particular, group IV based semiconductor hosts containing an abundance of nuclear spin-zero isotopes have made considerable headway into fulfilling the requirements of a universal quantum computer. Silicon (Si...

Hot qubits in silicon for quantum computation

The understanding of quantum mechanics enabled the development of technology such as transistors and has been the foundation of today’s information age. Actively using quantum mechanics to build quantum technology may cause a second revolution in handling information. However, to execute meaningful algorithms, largescale quantum computers have...
