We present measurements of the electron temperature using gate defined quantum dots formed in a GaAs 2D electron gas in both direct transport and charge sensing mode. Decent agreement with the refrigerator temperature was observed over a broad range of temperatures down to 10 mK. Upon cooling nuclear demagnetization stages integrated into the sample wires below 1 mK, the device electron temperature saturates, remaining close to 10 mK. The extreme sensitivity of the thermometer to its environment as well as electronic noise complicates temperature measurements but could potentially provide further insight into the device characteristics. We discuss thermal coupling mechanisms, address possible reasons for the temperature saturation and delineate the prospects of further reducing the device electron temperature.

We investigate background charge fluctuation in a GaAs quantum dot device by measuring 1/f noise in the single-electron tunneling current through the dot. The current noise is understood as fluctuations of the confinement potential and tunneling barr iers. The estimated potential fluctuation increases almost linearly with temperature, which is consistent with a simple model of the 1/f noise. We find that the fluctuation increases very slightly when electrons are injected into excited states of the quantum dot.
We demonstrate fast readout of a double quantum dot (DQD) that is coupled to a superconducting resonator. Utilizing parametric amplification in a nonlinear operational mode, we improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by a factor of 2000 compared to t he situation with the parametric amplifier turned off. With an integration time of 400 ns we achieve a SNR of 76. By studying SNR as a function of the integration time we extract an equivalent charge sensitivity of 8 x 10^{-5} e/root(Hz). The high SNR allows us to acquire a DQD charge stability diagram in just 20 ms. At such a high data rate, it is possible to acquire charge stability diagrams in a live video-mode, enabling real time tuning of the DQD confinement potential.
We report charge sensing measurements of a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dot using a single-electron transistor as a charge sensor with dynamic feedback control. Using digitallycontrolled feedback, the sensor exhibits sensitive and robust detection of the charge state of the quantum dot, even in the presence of charge drifts and random charge rearrangements. The sensor enables the occupancy of the quantum dot to be probed down to the single electron level.
We demonstrate dispersive readout of individual charge states in a gate-defined few-electron quantum dot in bilayer graphene. We employ a radio frequency reflectometry circuit, where an LC resonator with a resonance frequency close to 280 MHz is dire ctly coupled to an ohmic contact of the quantum dot device. The detection scheme based on changes in the quantum capacitance operates over a wide gate-voltage range and allows to probe excited states down to the single-electron regime. Crucially, the presented sensing technique avoids the use of an additional, capacitively coupled quantum device such as a quantum point contact or single electron transistor, making dispersive sensing particularly interesting for gate-defined graphene quantum dots.
Measurement of charge configurations in few-electron quantum dots is a vital technique for spin-based quantum information processing. While fast and high-fidelity measurement is possible by using proximal quantum dot charge sensors, their operating r ange is limited and prone to electrical disturbances. Here we demonstrate realtime operation of a charge sensor in a feedback loop to maintain its sensitivity suitable for fast charge sensing in a Si/SiGe double quantum dot. Disturbances to the charge sensitivity, due to variation of gate voltages for operating the quantum dot and $1/f$ charge fluctuation, are compensated by a digital PID controller with the bandwidth of $approx 100,{rm kHz}$. The rapid automated tuning of a charge sensor enables unobstructed charge stability diagram measurement facilitating realtime quantum dot tuning and submicrosecond single-shot spin readout without compromising the performance of a charge sensor in time-consuming experiments for quantum information processing.
