Large dispersive interaction between a CMOS double quantum dot and microwave photons


Abstract in English

We report fast charge state readout of a double quantum dot in a CMOS split-gate silicon nanowire transistor via the large dispersive interaction with microwave photons in a lumped-element resonator formed by hybrid integration with a superconducting inductor. We achieve a coupling rate $g_0/(2pi) = 204 pm 2$ MHz by exploiting the large interdot gate lever arm of an asymmetric split-gate device, $alpha=0.72$, and by inductively coupling to the resonator to increase its impedance, $Z_text{r}=560~Omega$. In the dispersive regime, the large coupling strength at the double quantum dot hybridisation point produces a frequency shift comparable to the resonator linewidth, the optimal setting for maximum state visibility. We exploit this regime to demonstrate rapid dispersive readout of the charge degree of freedom, with a SNR of 3.3 in 50 ns. In the resonant regime, the fast charge decoherence rate precludes reaching the strong coupling regime, but we show a clear route to spin-photon circuit quantum electrodynamics using hybrid CMOS systems.
