Si-MOS based QD qubits are attractive due to their similarity to the current semiconductor industry. We introduce a highly tunable MOS foundry compatible qubit design that couples an electrostatic quantum dot (QD) with an implanted donor. We show for the first time coherent two-axis control of a two-electron spin logical qubit that evolves under the QD-donor exchange interaction and the hyperfine interaction with the donor nucleus. The two interactions are tuned electrically with surface gate voltages to provide control of both qubit axes. Qubit decoherence is influenced by charge noise, which is of similar strength as epitaxial systems like GaAs and Si/SiGe.
Silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dots are prominent candidates for high-fidelity, manufacturable qubits. Due to silicon's band structure, additional low-energy states persist in these devices, presenting both challenges and opportunities. Although the physics governing these valley states has been the subject of intense study, quantitative agreement between experiment and theory remains elusive. Here, we present data from an experiment probing the valley states of quantum dot devices and develop a theory that is in quantitative agreement with both this and a recently reported experiment. Through sampling millions of realistic cases of interface roughness, our method provides evidence that the valley physics between the two samples is essentially the same.
Silicon chips hosting a single donor can be used to store and manipulate one bit of quantum information. However, a central challenge for realizing quantum logic operations is to couple donors to one another in a controllable way. To achieve this, several proposals rely on using nearby quantum dots (QDs) to mediate an interaction. In this work, we demonstrate the coherent coupling of electron spins between a single 31 P donor and an enriched 28 Si metal-oxide-semiconductor few-electron QD. We show that the electron-nuclear spin interaction on the donor can drive coherent rotations between singlet and triplet electron spin states of the QD-donor system. Moreover, we are able to tune electrically the exchange interaction between the QD and donor electrons. Furthermore, the combination of single-nucleus-driven rotations and voltage-tunable exchange provides every key element for future all-electrical control of spin qubits, while requiring only a single QD and no additional magnetic field gradients
