We engineer planar Ge/SiGe heterostructures for low disorder and quiet hole quantum dot operation by positioning the strained Ge channel 55~nm below the semiconductor/dielectric interface. In heterostructure field effect transistors, we measure a percolation density for two-dimensional hole transport of $2.1times10^{10}~text{cm}^{-2}$, indicative of a very low disorder potential landscape experienced by holes in the buried Ge channel. These Ge heterostructures support quiet operation of hole quantum dots and we measure charge noise levels that are below the detection limit $sqrt{S_text{E}}=0.2~mu text{eV}/sqrt{text{Hz}}$ at 1 Hz. These results establish planar Ge as a promising platform for scaled two-dimensional spin qubit arrays.

Solid-state qubits incorporating quantum dots can be read out by gate reflectometry. Here, we theoretically describe physical mechanisms that render such reflectometry-based readout schemes imperfect. We discuss charge qubits, singlet-triplet spin qu
bits, and Majorana qubits. In our model, we account for readout errors due to slow charge noise, and due to overdriving, when a too strong probe is causing errors. A key result is that for charge and spin qubits, the readout fidelity saturates at large probe strengths, whereas for Majorana qubits, there is an optimal probe strength which provides a maximized readout fidelity. We also point out the existence of severe readout errors appearing in a resonance-like fashion as the pulse strength is increased, and show that these errors are related to probe-induced multi-photon transitions. Besides providing practical guidelines toward optimized readout, our study might also inspire ways to use gate reflectometry for device characterization.
The promise of quantum computation with quantum dots has stimulated widespread research. Still, a platform that can combine excellent control with fast and high-fidelity operation is absent. Here, we show single and two-qubit operations based on hole
s in germanium. A high degree of control over the tunnel coupling and detuning is obtained by exploiting quantum wells with very low disorder and by working in a virtual gate space. Spin-orbit coupling obviates the need for microscopic elements and enables rapid qubit control with Rabi frequencies exceeding 100 MHz and a single-qubit fidelity of 99.3 %. We demonstrate fast two-qubit CX gates executed within 75 ns and minimize decoherence by operating at the charge symmetry point. Planar germanium thus matured within one year from a material that can host quantum dots to a platform enabling two-qubit logic, positioning itself as a unique material to scale up spin qubits for quantum information.
Single-charge pumps are the main candidates for quantum-based standards of the unit ampere because they can generate accurate and quantized electric currents. In order to approach the metrological requirements in terms of both accuracy and speed of o
peration, in the past decade there has been a focus on semiconductor-based devices. The use of a variety of semiconductor materials enables the universality of charge pump devices to be tested, a highly desirable demonstration for metrology, with GaAs and Si pumps at the forefront of these tests. Here, we show that pumping can be achieved in a yet unexplored semiconductor, i.e. germanium. We realise a single-hole pump with a tunable-barrier quantum dot electrostatically defined at a Ge/SiGe heterostructure interface. We observe quantized current plateaux by driving the system with a single sinusoidal drive up to a frequency of 100 MHz. The operation of the prototype was affected by accidental formation of multiple dots, probably due to disorder potential, and random charge fluctuations. We suggest straightforward refinements of the fabrication process to improve pump characteristics in future experiments.
The possibility of quantum computing with spins in germanium nanoscale transistors has recently attracted interest since it promises highly tuneable qubits that have encouraging coherence times. We here present the first complete theory of the orbita
l states of Ge donor electrons, and use it to show that Ge could have significant advantages over silicon in the implementation of a donor-based quantum processor architecture. We show that the stronger spin-orbit interaction and the larger electron donor wave functions for Ge donors allow for greater tuning of the single qubit energy than for those in Si crystals, thus enabling a large speedup of selective (local) quantum gates. Further, exchange coupling between neighboring donor qubits is shown to be much larger in Ge than in Si, and we show that this greatly relaxes the precision in donor placement needed for robust two-qubit gates. To do this we compare two statistical distributions for Ge:P and Si:P pair couplings, corresponding to realistic donor implantation misplacement, and find that the spin couplings in Ge:P have a $33%$ chance of being within an order of magnitude of the largest coupling, compared with only $10%$ for the Si:P donors. This allows fast, parallel and robust architectures for quantum computing with donors in Ge.
The valley degree of freedom presents challenges and opportunities for silicon spin qubits. An important consideration for singlet-triplet states is the presence of two distinct triplets, comprised of valley vs. orbital excitations. Here we show that
both of these triplets are present in the typical operating regime, but that only the valley-excited triplet offers intrinsic protection against charge noise. We further show that this protection arises naturally in dots with stronger confinement. These results reveal an inherent advantage for silicon-based multi-electron qubits.
