摘要:

交换耦合是基于自旋的量子技术的关键成分,因为它可以用来纠缠自旋量子比特并创建逻辑自旋量子比特。然而,硅中的电子谷自由度对交换相互作用的影响是目前重要的开放问题的主题。在这里,我们调查的影响交换谷在耦合施主/量子点系统,最近提出的方案的鲁棒量子信息处理的基本组成部分。利用扫描隧道显微镜针尖对量子点进行亚纳米级的精确定位,我们发现了一种近似单调的交换特性,其中与谷自由度相关的晶格非周期调制占交换的比例小于2~ 1%。由此,我们得出结论,保留施主的$\pm x$和$\pm y$谷指数的谷内隧穿过程被过滤出与$\pm z$谷量子点的相互作用,并且其中电子谷指数变化的$\pm x$和$\pm y$谷间过程是弱的。通过紧束缚计算交换与供体深度的补充,证明静电可调谐的供体/量子点交换可以用来补偿剩余的intravalley $\pm z$振荡,以实现均匀的相互作用,在一个阵列中的高度相干的供体自旋。

英文摘要:

Exchange coupling is a key ingredient for spin-based quantum technologies since it can be used to entangle spin qubits and create logical spin qubits. However, the influence of the electronic valley degree of freedom in silicon on exchange interactions is presently the subject of important open questions. Here we investigate the influence of valleys on exchange in a coupled donor/quantum dot system, a basic building block of recently proposed schemes for robust quantum information processing. Using a scanning tunneling microscope tip to position the quantum dot with sub-nm precision, we find a near monotonic exchange characteristic where lattice-aperiodic modulations associated with valley degrees of freedom comprise less than 2~\% of exchange. From this we conclude that intravalley tunneling processes that preserve the donor's $\pm x$ and $\pm y$ valley index are filtered out of the interaction with the $\pm z$ valley quantum dot, and that the $\pm x$ and $\pm y$ intervalley processes where the electron valley index changes are weak. Complemented by tight-binding calculations of exchange versus donor depth, the demonstrated electrostatic tunability of donor/QD exchange can be used to compensate the remaining intravalley $\pm z$ oscillations to realise uniform interactions in an array of highly coherent donor spins.
