We investigate the triplet-singlet relaxation in a double quantum dot defined by top-gates in an InAs nanowire. In the Pauli spin blockade regime, the leakage current can be mainly attributed to spin relaxation. While at weak and strong inter-dot coupling relaxation is dominated by two individual mechanisms, the relaxation is strongly reduced at intermediate coupling and finite magnetic field. In addition we observe a charateristic bistability of the spin-non conserving current as a function of magnetic field. We propose a model where these features are explained by the polarization of nuclear spins enabled by the interplay between hyperfine and spin-orbit mediated relaxation.

We measure transport at finite bias through a double quantum dot formed by top-gates in an InAs nanowire. Pauli spin-bockade is confirmed with several electrons in the dot. This is expected due to the small exchange interactions in InAs and the large singlet-triplet splitting, which can be measured and tuned by a gate voltage.
We report fabrication and measurement of a device where closely-placed two parallel InAs nanowires (NWs) are contacted by source and drain normal metal electrodes. Established technique includes selective deposition of double nanowires onto a previously defined gate region. By tuning the junction with the finger bottom gates, we confirmed the formation of parallel double quantum dots, one in each NW, with a finite electrostatic coupling between each other. With the fabrication technique established in this study, devices proposed for more advanced experiments, such as Cooper-pair splitting and the observation of parafermions, can be realized.
A linear triple quantum dot (TQD) integrated with a quantum dot (QD) charge sensor is realized. The TQD and the charge sensor are built from two adjacent InAs nanowires by fine finger gate technique. The charge state configurations of the nanowire TQD are studied by measurements of the direct transport signals of the TQD and by detection of the charge state transitions in the TQD via the nanowire QD sensor. Excellent agreements in the charge stability diagrams of the TQD obtained by the direct transport measurements and by the charge-state transition detection measurements are achieved. It is shown that the charge stability diagrams are featured by three groups of charge state transition lines of different slopes, corresponding to the changes in the electron occupation numbers of the three individual QDs in the TQD. It is also shown that the integrated nanowire QD sensor is highly sensitive and can detect the charge state transitions in the cases where the direct transport signals of the TQD are too weak to be measurable. Tuning to a regime, where all the three QDs in the TQD are close to be on resonance with the Fermi level of the source and drain reservoirs and co-existence of triple and quadruple points becomes possible, has also been demonstrated with the help of the charge sensor in the region where the direct transport signals of the TQD are hardly visible.
We study the impacts of the magnetic field direction on the spin-manipulation and the spin-relaxation in a one-dimensional quantum dot with strong spin-orbit coupling. The energy spectrum and the corresponding eigenfunctions in the quantum dot are obtained exactly. We find that no matter how large the spin-orbit coupling is, the electric-dipole spin transition rate as a function of the magnetic field direction always has a $pi$ periodicity. However, the phonon-induced spin relaxation rate as a function of the magnetic field direction has a $pi$ periodicity only in the weak spin-orbit coupling regime, and the periodicity is prolonged to $2pi$ in the strong spin-orbit coupling regime.
Dispersive sensing is a powerful technique that enables scalable and high-fidelity readout of solid-state quantum bits. In particular, gate-based dispersive sensing has been proposed as the readout mechanism for future topological qubits, which can be measured by single electrons tunneling through zero-energy modes. The development of such a readout requires resolving the coherent charge tunneling amplitude from a quantum dot in a Majorana-zero-mode host system faithfully on short time scales. Here, we demonstrate rapid single-shot detection of a coherent single-electron tunneling amplitude between InAs nanowire quantum dots. We have realized a sensitive dispersive detection circuit by connecting a sub-GHz, lumped element microwave resonator to a high-lever arm gate on one of dots. The resulting large dot-resonator coupling leads to an observed dispersive shift that is of the order of the resonator linewidth at charge degeneracy. This shift enables us to differentiate between Coulomb blockade and resonance, corresponding to the scenarios expected for qubit state readout, with a signal to noise ratio exceeding 2 for an integration time of 1 microsecond. Our result paves the way for single shot measurements of fermion parity on microsecond timescales in topological qubits.
