A qubit device includes first and second linear qubit arrays. Each qubit array includes a semiconductor substrate, control gates configured to define a single row of quantum dots along the substrate, and nanomagnets distributed along the row of quantum dots such that a nanomagnet is arranged at every other pair of quantum dots of the row of quantum dots. Each nanomagnet has an out-of-plane magnetization with respect to the substrate, where the rows of the first and second arrays extend in a common row direction and are separated along a direction transverse to the row direction. The qubit device further includes superconducting resonators connecting pairs of quantum dots between the first and second arrays. Each pair of quantum dots in the first array is configured to couple with a superconducting resonator of the first set to connect with a different pair of quantum dots of the second array.

Qubit device

An integrated system for quantum computation is provided, In one aspect, the system includes at least one semiconductor spin quantum bit (qubit); a feedline configured to act as an electron spin resonance (ESR) antenna for control of the at least one qubit; at least one resonator; and a ground plane common to both the feedline and the at least one resonator. The at least one resonator is capacitively coupled to the feedline, and configured for readout of the at least one qubit via the feedline. The feedline and the at least one resonator are arranged in adjacent layers separated by at least a dielectric. A corresponding method of performing quantum computation using such an integrated system is also provided.

Control and readout topology for spin qubits

According to an aspect of the present inventive concept there is provided a qubit device comprising: a semiconductor substrate layer; a set of control gates configured to define a row of electrostatically confined quantum dots along the substrate layer, each quantum dot being suitable for holding a qubit; and a set of nanomagnets arranged in a row over the substrate layer such that a nanomagnet is arranged above every other quantum dot of the row of quantum dots, wherein each nanomagnet has an out-of-plane magnetization with respect to the substrate layer and wherein every other quantum dot is subjected to an out-of-plane magnetic field generated by a respective nanomagnet, such that a qubit spin resonance frequency of every other quantum dot is shifted with respect to an adjacent quantum dot of the row of quantum dots.
