Strategies to search for two-dimensional materials with long spin qubit coherence time

ORAL

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are rapidly emerging as versatile building blocks for next-generation quantum technologies. Their atomically thin nature allows for seamless integration with microelectronic and photonic platforms; in addition, for solid-state qubits, their reduced nuclear spin density enable long spin coherence time (T2). Here, we present computational and theoretical strategies to discover and characterize 2D materials that can host spin qubits with long T2. We develop a framework, AiiDA-PyCCE, to compute the coherence properties of qubit host materials in a high-throughput manner, enabling us to identify new 2D materials and substrates to host spin qubits. We also develop analytical models of T2 for both 2D materials and heterostructures with 3D substrates, enabling even faster predictions of T2. Our developments help advance our understanding of 2D platforms and related systems, such as Moiré materials, for qubit technologies.
