We successfully demonstrated experimentally the electrical-field-mediated control of the spin of electrons confined in an SOI Quantum Dot (QD) device fabricated with a standard CMOS process flow. Furthermore, we show that the Back-Gate control in SOI devices enables switching a quantum bit (qubit) between an electrically-addressable, yet charge noise-sensitive configuration, and a protected configuration.

We propose a method to electrically control electron spins in donor-based qubits in silicon. By taking advantage of the hyperfine coupling difference between a single-donor and a two-donor quantum dot, spin rotation can be driven by inducing an elect ric dipole between them and applying an alternating electric field generated by in-plane gates. These qubits can be coupled with exchange interaction controlled by top detuning gates. The qubit device can be fabricated deep in the silicon lattice with atomic precision by scanning tunneling probe technique. We have combined a large-scale full band atomistic tight-binding modeling approach with a time-dependent effective Hamiltonian description, providing a design with quantitative guidelines.
We present recent progress towards the implementation of a scalable quantum processor based on fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FDSOI) technology. In particular, we discuss an approach where the elementary bits of quantum information - so-called qubits - are encoded in the spin degree of freedom of gate-confined holes in p-type devices. We show how a hole-spin can be efficiently manipulated by means of a microwave excitation applied to the corresponding confining gate. The hole spin state can be read out and reinitialized through a Pauli blockade mechanism. The studied devices are derived from silicon nanowire field-effect transistors. We discuss their prospects for scalability and, more broadly, the potential advantages of FDSOI technology.
We demonstrate electrical control of the spin relaxation time T_1 between Zeeman split spin states of a single electron in a lateral quantum dot. We find that relaxation is mediated by the spin-orbit interaction, and by manipulating the orbital state s of the dot using gate voltages we vary the relaxation rate W= (T_1)^-1 by over an order of magnitude. The dependence of W on orbital confinement agrees with theoretical predictions and from these data we extract the spin-orbit length. We also measure the dependence of W on magnetic field and demonstrate that spin-orbit mediated coupling to phonons is the dominant relaxation mechanism down to 1T, where T_1 exceeds 1s.
The ultimate goal of spintronics is achieving electrically controlled coherent manipulation of the electron spin at room temperature to enable devices such as spin field-effect transistors. With conventional materials, coherent spin precession has be en observed in the ballistic regime and at low temperatures only. However, the strong spin anisotropy and the valley character of the electronic states in 2D materials provide unique control knobs to manipulate spin precession. Here, by manipulating the anisotropic spin-orbit coupling in bilayer graphene by the proximity effect to WSe$_2$, we achieve coherent spin precession in the absence of an external magnetic field, even in the diffusive regime. Remarkably, the sign of the precessing spin polarization can be tuned by a back gate voltage and by a drift current. Our realization of a spin field-effect transistor at room temperature is a cornerstone for the implementation of energy-efficient spin-based logic.
The recent development of all-electrical electron spin resonance (ESR) in a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) setup has opened the door to vast applications. Despite the fast growing number of experimental works on STM-ESR, the fundamental principl es remains unclear. By using a cotunneling picture, we show that the spin resonance signal can be explained as a time-dependent variation of the tunnel barrier induced by the alternating electric driving field. We demonstrate how this variation translates into the resonant frequency response of the direct current. Our cotunneling theory explains the main experimental findings. Namely, the linear dependence of the Rabi flop rate with the alternating bias amplitude, the absence of resonant response for spin-unpolarized currents, and the weak dependence on the actual atomic species.
