Title: Monolithically Integrated Quantum Dots in a 22‐nm Fully Depleted Silicon‐on‐Insulator Process Operating at 3 K
ABSTRACT Quantum computers comprising large‐scale arrays of qubits will enable complex algorithms to be executed to provide a quantum advantage for practical applications. A prerequisite for this milestone is a power‐efficient qubit control and detection system operating at cryogenic temperatures. Implementing such systems in complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) technology offers clear advantages in terms of scalability. Here, we present a fully integrated quantum dot array in which silicon quantum wells are co‐located with control and detection circuitry on the same die in a commercial 22‐nm fully depleted silicon‐on‐insulator (FDSOI) process. Our system comprises a two‐dimensional quantum dot array, integrated with 8 detectors and 32 injectors, operating at 3 K inside a cryo‐cooler. The power consumption of the control and detection circuitry is 2.5 mW per qubit without body biasing. The design utilizes 0.8‐V nominal devices. The setup allows us to verify discrete charge injection control and detection at the quantum dot array and demonstrate the feasibility of this architecture for scaling up the existing quantum core to hundreds and thousands of physical qubits.  more » « less

    Abstract Suppressing errors is the central challenge for useful quantum computing1, requiring quantum error correction (QEC)2–6for large-scale processing. However, the overhead in the realization of error-corrected ‘logical’ qubits, in which information is encoded across many physical qubits for redundancy2–4, poses substantial challenges to large-scale logical quantum computing. Here we report the realization of a programmable quantum processor based on encoded logical qubits operating with up to 280 physical qubits. Using logical-level control and a zoned architecture in reconfigurable neutral-atom arrays7, our system combines high two-qubit gate fidelities8, arbitrary connectivity7,9, as well as fully programmable single-qubit rotations and mid-circuit readout10–15. Operating this logical processor with various types of encoding, we demonstrate improvement of a two-qubit logic gate by scaling surface-code6distance fromd = 3 tod = 7, preparation of colour-code qubits with break-even fidelities5, fault-tolerant creation of logical Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states and feedforward entanglement teleportation, as well as operation of 40 colour-code qubits. Finally, using 3D [[8,3,2]] code blocks16,17, we realize computationally complex sampling circuits18with up to 48 logical qubits entangled with hypercube connectivity19with 228 logical two-qubit gates and 48 logical CCZ gates20. We find that this logical encoding substantially improves algorithmic performance with error detection, outperforming physical-qubit fidelities at both cross-entropy benchmarking and quantum simulations of fast scrambling21,22. These results herald the advent of early error-corrected quantum computation and chart a path towards large-scale logical processors.

    Silicon-based spin qubit platform is a promising candidate for the hardware realization of quantum computing. Charge noise, however, plays a critical role in limiting the fidelity and scalability of silicon-based quantum computing technologies. This work presents Green’s transfer function approach to simulate the correlated noise power spectral density (PSD) in silicon spin qubit devices. The simulation approach relates the dynamics of the charge noise source of two-level fluctuators (TLFs) to the correlated noise of spin qubit device characteristics through a transfer function. It allows the noise auto-correlation and cross correlation between any pairs of physical quantities of interest to be systematically computed and analyzed. Because each spin qubit device involves only a small number of TLFs due to its nanoscale device size, the distribution of TLFs impacts the noise correlation significantly. In both a two-qubit quantum gate and a spin qubit array device, the charge noise shows strong cross correlation between neighboring qubits. The simulation results also reveal a phase-flipping feature of the noise cross-PSD between neighboring spin qubits, consistent with a recent experiment.

    Abstract A key challenge in realizing practical quantum networks for long-distance quantum communication involves robust entanglement between quantum memory nodes connected by fibre optical infrastructure1–3. Here we demonstrate a two-node quantum network composed of multi-qubit registers based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) centres in nanophotonic diamond cavities integrated with a telecommunication fibre network. Remote entanglement is generated by the cavity-enhanced interactions between the electron spin qubits of the SiVs and optical photons. Serial, heralded spin-photon entangling gate operations with time-bin qubits are used for robust entanglement of separated nodes. Long-lived nuclear spin qubits are used to provide second-long entanglement storage and integrated error detection. By integrating efficient bidirectional quantum frequency conversion of photonic communication qubits to telecommunication frequencies (1,350 nm), we demonstrate the entanglement of two nuclear spin memories through 40 km spools of low-loss fibre and a 35-km long fibre loop deployed in the Boston area urban environment, representing an enabling step towards practical quantum repeaters and large-scale quantum networks.

    Abstract Electron spins in silicon quantum dots are promising qubits due to their long coherence times, scalable fabrication, and potential for all-electrical control. However, charge noise in the host semiconductor presents a major obstacle to achieving high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates in these devices. In this work, we measure the charge-noise spectrum of a Si/SiGe singlet-triplet qubit over nearly 12 decades in frequency using a combination of methods, including dynamically-decoupled exchange oscillations with up to 512 π pulses during the qubit evolution. The charge noise is colored across the entire frequency range of our measurements, although the spectral exponent changes with frequency. Moreover, the charge-noise spectrum inferred from conductance measurements of a proximal sensor quantum dot agrees with that inferred from coherent oscillations of the singlet-triplet qubit, suggesting that simple transport measurements can accurately characterize the charge noise over a wide frequency range in Si/SiGe quantum dots.

    The platform of silicon-based spin qubits holds significant potential for the hardware implementation of quantum computing. Charge noise, however, notably hinders the performance and scalability of silicon-spin-based quantum computing technologies. Here we computationally investigated correlated charge noise in silicon spin quantum computing devices by developing and applying a Green’s transfer function approach. The approach allows for the systematic simulation and analysis of both the noise's auto-correlation and cross-correlation spectrums in a physics-based manner. We simulate the correlated noise's power spectral density (PSD) in silicon spin qubit devices. The results indicate strong cross-correlation and show phase-flipping features in neighboring silicon spin qubits, in agreement with a recent experiment. Given that each spin qubit device is small and influenced by a limited number of two-level fluctuators (TLFs), the arrangement of these TLFs plays a crucial role in the correlation of noise. The simulation study highlights the need to consider noise correlation and its related spectral features in developing robust quantum computing technologies based on silicon spin qubits.
