Quantum dot (QD) lay-outs are becoming more complex as the technology is being applied to more complex multi-QD structures. This increase in complexity requires improved capacitance modeling both for design and accurate interpretation of QD properties from measurement. A combination of process simulation, electrostatic simulation, and computer assisted design (CAD) lay-out packages are used to develop a three dimensional (3D) classical capacitance model. The agreement of the capacitances of the classical model is tested against two different, experimentally measured, topographically complex silicon QD geometries. Agreement with experiment, within 10-20%, is demonstrated for the two structures when the details of the structure are transferred from the CAD to the model capturing the full 3D topography. Small uncertainty in device dimensions due to uncontrolled variation in processing, like layer thickness and gate size, are calculated to be sufficient to explain the disagreement. The sensitivity of the capacitances to small variations in the structure also highlights the limits of accuracy of capacitance models for QD analysis. We furthermore observe that a critical density, the metal insulator transition, can be used as a good approximation of the metallic edge of the quantum dot when electron density in the dot is calculated directly with a semi-classical simulation.

Single nuclear spins in the solid state have long been envisaged as a platform for quantum computing, due to their long coherence times and excellent controllability. Measurements can be performed via localised electrons, for example those in single
atom dopants or crystal defects. However, establishing long-range interactions between multiple dopants or defects is challenging. Conversely, in lithographically-defined quantum dots, tuneable interdot electron tunnelling allows direct coupling of electron spin-based qubits in neighbouring dots. Moreover, compatibility with semiconductor fabrication techniques provides a compelling route to scaling to large numbers of qubits. Unfortunately, hyperfine interactions are typically too weak to address single nuclei. Here we show that for electrons in silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dots the hyperfine interaction is sufficient to initialise, read-out and control single silicon-29 nuclear spins, yielding a combination of the long coherence times of nuclear spins with the flexibility and scalability of quantum dot systems. We demonstrate high-fidelity projective readout and control of the nuclear spin qubit, as well as entanglement between the nuclear and electron spins. Crucially, we find that both the nuclear spin and electron spin retain their coherence while moving the electron between quantum dots, paving the way to long range nuclear-nuclear entanglement via electron shuttling. Our results establish nuclear spins in quantum dots as a powerful new resource for quantum processing.
Quantum gates between spin qubits can be implemented leveraging the natural Heisenberg exchange interaction between two electrons in contact with each other. This interaction is controllable by electrically tailoring the overlap between electronic wa
vefunctions in quantum dot systems, as long as they occupy neighbouring dots. An alternative route is the exploration of superexchange - the coupling between remote spins mediated by a third idle electron that bridges the distance between quantum dots. We experimentally demonstrate direct exchange coupling and provide evidence for second neighbour mediated superexchange in a linear array of three single-electron spin qubits in silicon, inferred from the electron spin resonance frequency spectra. We confirm theoretically through atomistic modeling that the device geometry only allows for sizeable direct exchange coupling for neighbouring dots, while next nearest neighbour coupling cannot stem from the vanishingly small tail of the electronic wavefunction of the remote dots, and is only possible if mediated.
A two-qubit controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate, realized by a controlled-phase (C-phase) gate combined with single-qubit gates, has been experimentally implemented recently for quantum-dot spin qubits in isotopically enriched silicon, a promising solid-state
system for practical quantum computation. In the experiments, the single-qubit gates have been demonstrated with fault-tolerant control-fidelity, but the infidelity of the two-qubit C-phase gate is, primarily due to the electrical noise, still higher than the required error threshold for fault-tolerant quantum computation (FTQC). Here, by taking the realistic system parameters and the experimental constraints on the control pulses into account, we construct experimentally realizable high-fidelity CNOT gates robust against electrical noise with the experimentally measured $1/f^{1.01}$ noise spectrum and also against the uncertainty in the interdot tunnel coupling amplitude. Our optimal CNOT gate has about two orders of magnitude improvement in gate infidelity over the ideal C-phase gate constructed without considering any noise effect. Furthermore, within the same control framework, high-fidelity and robust single-qubit gates can also be constructed, paving the way for large-scale FTQC.
The design of electrically driven quantum dot devices for quantum optical applications asks for modeling approaches combining classical device physics with quantum mechanics. We connect the well-established fields of semi-classical semiconductor tran
sport theory and the theory of open quantum systems to meet this requirement. By coupling the van Roosbroeck system with a quantum master equation in Lindblad form, we introduce a new hybrid quantum-classical modeling approach, which provides a comprehensive description of quantum dot devices on multiple scales: It enables the calculation of quantum optical figures of merit and the spatially resolved simulation of the current flow in realistic semiconductor device geometries in a unified way. We construct the interface between both theories in such a way, that the resulting hybrid system obeys the fundamental axioms of (non-)equilibrium thermodynamics. We show that our approach guarantees the conservation of charge, consistency with the thermodynamic equilibrium and the second law of thermodynamics. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated by numerical simulations of an electrically driven single-photon source based on a single quantum dot in the stationary and transient operation regime.
Heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) materials form efficient devices for utilizing the properties of both classes of materials. Graphene/silicon (G/Si) Schottky diodes have been studied extensively with respect to thei
r optoelectronic properties. Here, we introduce a method to analyze measured capacitance-voltage data of G/Si Schottky diodes connected in parallel with G/silicon dioxide/Si (GIS) capacitors. We also demonstrate the accurate extraction of the built-in potential ($Phi$$_{bi}$) and the Schottky barrier height from the measurement data independent of the Richardson constant.
