We report the realization of an array of four tunnel coupled quantum dots in the single electron regime, which is the first required step toward a scalable solid state spin qubit architecture. We achieve an efficient tunability of the system but also find out that the conditions to realize spin blockade readout are not as straightforwardly obtained as for double and triple quantum dot circuits. We use a simple capacitive model of the series quadruple quantum dots circuit to investigate its complex charge state diagrams and are able to find the most suitable configurations for future Pauli spin blockade measurements. We then experimentally realize the corresponding charge states with a good agreement to our model.

Electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots are good candidates of quantum bits for quantum information processing. Basic operations of the qubit have been realized in recent years: initialization, manipulation of single spins, two qubit entanglemen t operations, and readout. Now it becomes crucial to demonstrate scalability of this architecture by conducting spin operations on a scaled up system. Here, we demonstrate single-electron spin resonance in a quadruple quantum dot. A few-electron quadruple quantum dot is formed within a magnetic field gradient created by a micro-magnet. We oscillate the wave functions of the electrons in the quantum dots by applying microwave voltages and this induces electron spin resonance. The resonance energies of the four quantum dots are slightly different because of the stray field created by the micro-magnet and therefore frequency-resolved addressable control of the electron spin resonance is possible.
A semiconductor quintuple quantum dot with two charge sensors and an additional contact to the center dot from an electron reservoir is fabricated to demonstrate the concept of scalable architecture. This design enables formation of the five dots as confirmed by measurements of the charge states of the three nearest dots to the respective charge sensor. The gate performance of the measured stability diagram is well reproduced by a capacitance model.These results provide an important step towards realizing controllable large scale multiple quantum dot systems.
Highly polarized nuclear spins within a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) induce effective magnetic (Overhauser) fields of up to several Tesla acting on the electron spin or up to a few hundred mT for the hole spin. Recently this has been recognized as a resource for intrinsic control of QD-based spin quantum bits. However, only static long-lived Overhauser fields could be used. Here we demonstrate fast redirection on the microsecond time-scale of Overhauser fields of the order of 0.5 T experienced by a single electron spin in an optically pumped GaAs quantum dot. This has been achieved using full coherent control of an ensemble of 10^3-10^4 optically polarized nuclear spins by sequences of short radio-frequency (rf) pulses. These results open the way to a new class of experiments using rf techniques to achieve highly-correlated nuclear spins in quantum dots, such as adiabatic demagnetization in the rotating frame leading to sub-micro K nuclear spin temperatures, rapid adiabatic passage, and spin squeezing.
Scaling up qubits is a necessary step to realize useful systems of quantum computation. Here we demonstrate coherent manipulations of four individual electron spins using a micro-magnet method in a quadruple quantum dot - the largest number of dots u sed for the single spin control in multiple quantum dots. We observe Rabi oscillations and electron spin resonance (ESR) for each dot and evaluate the spin-electric coupling of the four dots, and finally discuss practical approaches to independently address single spin control in multiple quantum dot systems containing even more quantum dots.
Gate-controlled silicon quantum devices are currently moving from academic proof-of-principle studies to industrial fabrication, while increasing their complexity from single- or double-dot devices to larger arrays. We perform gate-based high-frequen cy reflectometry measurements on a 2x2 array of silicon quantum dots fabricated entirely using 300 mm foundry processes. Utilizing the capacitive couplings within the dot array, it is sufficient to connect only one gate electrode to one reflectometry resonator and still establish single-electron occupation in each of the four dots and detect single-electron movements with high bandwidth. A global top-gate electrode adjusts the overall tunneling times, while linear combinations of side-gate voltages yield detailed charge stability diagrams. We support our findings with $mathbf{k}cdotmathbf{p}$ modeling and electrostatic simulations based on a constant interaction model, and experimentally demonstrate single-shot detection of interdot charge transitions with unity signal-to-noise ratios at bandwidths exceeding 30 kHz. Our techniques may find use in the scaling of few-dot spin-qubit devices to large-scale quantum processors.
