- Description:
-
Abstract: Dopant atoms in silicon are a versatile platform for experiments in quantum information processing, as well as quantum foundations. The electron and nuclear spin of a 31P donor were the first qubit demonstrated in silicon and went on to become among of the most coherent qubits in the solid state, with coherence times exceeding 30 seconds, and quantum gate fidelities approaching 99.99%.'
I will present the state of the art and future directions for donor spins in silicon. For quantum information, the current focus is on multi-qubit operations, scale-up and fault tolerance. Future experiments will focus on using deterministic, counted single-ion implantation, for which we have recently demonstrated the capability to detect an individual ion with 99.85% confidence.
