Coherent Spin-Spin Coupling Mediated by Virtual Microwave Photons

We report the coherent coupling of two electron spins at a distance via virtual microwave photons. Each spin is trapped in a silicon double quantum dot at either end of a superconducting resonator, achieving spin-photon couplings up to around gs/2p=40 MHz. As the two spins are brought into resonance with each other, but detuned from the...

On-chip microwave filters for high-impedance resonators with gate-defined quantum dots

Circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) employs superconducting microwave resonators as quantum buses. In circuit QED with semiconductor quantum-dot-based qubits, increasing the resonator impedance is desirable as it enhances the coupling to the typically small charge dipole moment of these qubits. However, the gate electrodes necessary to form...
