Scaling up silicon-based quantum processors

Of all of the qubit modalities being investigated, semiconductor spin qubits most closely resemble conventional transistors, which can be readily mass produced.  We are developing two-dimensional spin qubit arrays using industrial-scale fabrication processes [1].  In conventional exchange-only spin qubit demonstrations, quantum gates have been implemented using sequences of individually pulsed pairwise exchange interactions.  Alternatively, in more highly connected spin qubit devices [2], multiple exchange interactions can be pulsed simultaneously thereby reducing circuit depths.  We demonstrate high-fidelity quantum control of an always-on exchange-only qubit, operated using simultaneous exchange pulses [3]. Extensions of this work may enable more efficient exchange only two-qubit entangling gates as well as the implementation of native i-Toffoli gates in Loss-DiVincenzo single-spin qubits.
