A silicon-based single-electron interferometer coupled to a fermionic sea

ORAL

Abstract

We study Landau-Zener-Stueckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interferometry under the influence of projective readout using a charge qubit tunnel-coupled to a fermionic sea. The device is realised within a silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistor. We first read out the charge state of the system in a continuous non-demolition manner by measuring the dispersive response of a high-frequency electrical resonator coupled to the quantum system via the gate. By performing multiple fast passages around the qubit avoided crossing, we observe a multi-passage LZSM interferometry pattern. At larger driving amplitudes, a projective measurement to an even-parity charge state is realised, showing a strong enhancement of the dispersive readout signal. At even larger driving amplitudes, two projective measurements are realised within the coherent evolution resulting in the disappearance of the interference pattern. Our results demonstrate a way to increase the readout signal of coherent quantum systems and replicate single-electron analogues of optical interferometry within a CMOS transistor.
