Presentation Transcript

  1. Electronic transport in nanostructures Thomas Ihn ETH Zürich FS 17

  2. After this lecture you knowand understand… • ... how Rabi oscillations work as single qubit operations in quantum dots • ... how spin-blockade and hyperfine interaction are used in spin manipulations • ... how a two qubit operation has been implemented in a double quantum dot system

  3. Requirements • Number of qubits: 105 • Scalability • Decoherence times much longer than gate operations • Universal set of qubit gates • Readout • Flying qubits, conversion

  4. How we can compute… … what is computable Classical computing Quantum computing NAND or NOR or NOT and OR or … arb. single qubit rotations and CNOT or arb. single qubit rotations and SWAP or …

  5. Steps to be taken • Decoherence: Determine coherence times in two-level systems, Investigate decoherence mechanisms Develop methods to avoid decoherence • Preparation: prepare two-level systems in a well-defined initial state 3.Single qubit manipulation: Observe single-qubit rotations (Rabi oscillations) • On-demand entanglement: find schemes for controlled qubit interaction • Detection: get the results of a calculation from measuring the qubits 6. Coherent transportation of qubits

  6. Qubits in quantum dots • Single electron spin in one quantum dot • Two energy levels in a double quantum dot • Presence/absence of an electron-hole pair in a single quantum dot spin qubit charge qubit excitonic qubit
