Single-electron pump in a quantum dot array for silicon quantum computers
JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS(2023)
Abstract
It is necessary to load single electrons into individual quantum dots (QDs) in an array for implementing fully scalable silicon-based quantum computers. However, this single-electron loading would be impacted by the variability of the QD characteristics, and suppressing this variability is highly challenging even in the state-of-the-art silicon front-end process. Here, we used a single-electron pump (SEP) for loading single electrons into a QD array as a preparatory step to use electrons as spin qubits. We used parallel gates in the QD array as a SEP and demonstrated 100 MHz operation with an accuracy of 99% at 4 K. By controlling the timing of a subsequent gate synchronously as a shutter, we found that the jitter representing electron transfer was less than 10 ns, which would be acceptable for a typical operating speed of around 1 MHz for silicon qubits.
