An elementary cell for a two-dimensional array of quantum dots, said elementary cell extending along a main plane and including: a plurality of sites occupied by quantum dots capable of confining at least one spin qubit and including at least: a first quantum dot, a second quantum dot adjacent to the first quantum dot in a first direction of the main plane, and a third quantum dot adjacent to the first quantum dot in a second direction of the main plane; and a first blocking site adjacent to the second and third quantum dots, towards which a spin qubit cannot be displaced.

Array of quantum dots with spin qubits

A method for manufacturing a quantum electronic circuit includes etching a semiconducting layer so as to obtain: a plurality of pillars; and a qubit layer; oxidising the flank of each pillar; forming coupling rows and coupling columns; and depositing separation layers leaving a contact surface protrude from each pillar.

Method for manufacturing a quantum electronic circuit

A quantum device, includes a semiconductor portion comprising several first quantum dot regions each disposed between at least two second tunnel barrier regions and placed next to the two second regions; first gates each comprising a first conductive portion; and second gates each comprising at least a second conductive portion and a second dielectric disposed between the second conductive portion and the first conductive portion of one of the first gates, such that each of the first gates is disposed between the semi-conductor portion and one of the second gates. The first and second gates are disposed above the first regions or above the second regions, the second gates being solely located in a vertical extension of the first gates.

Device with two superposed electrostatic control gate levels

A method of fabricating an electronic component with multiple quantum islands is provided, including supplying a substrate on which rests a nanowire made of semiconductor material not intentionally doped, the nanowire having at least two main control gates resting thereon so as to form respective qubits in the nanowire under the two main control gates, the two main control gates being separated by a groove, top and lateral faces of the two main control gates and a bottom of the groove being covered by a dielectric layer; depositing a conductive material in the groove and on the top of the two main control gates; and planarizing down to the dielectric layer on the top of the two main control gates, so as to obtain an element made of conductive material self-aligned between the main control gates.

Method of manufacturing an electronic component including multiple quantum dots

An electronic component with multiple quantum islands is provided, including a substrate on which rests a nanowire made of semiconductor material not intentionally doped; two main control gates resting on the nanowire so as to form respective qubits in the nanowire, the two main control gates being separated by a groove, and bottom and lateral faces of the groove are covered by a dielectric layer; an element made of conductive material formed on the dielectric layer in the groove; a carrier reservoir that is offset with respect to the nanowire, the element made of the conductive material being separated from the carrier reservoir by another dielectric layer such that the element made of the conductive material is coupled to the carrier reservoir by field effect. A method of fabricating an electronic component with multiple quantum islands is also provided.
