摘要:

一旦发现元素的周期性,化学键就可以用原子价来理解。理想情况下,这一原理将扩展到量子点,通常称为人造原子,量子计算可以通过控制基于点的量子位的外壳电子来执行。半导体材料中的缺陷,包括原子尺度上的缺陷,破坏了原子和量子点之间的这种相似性,因此实际设备很少显示出这种系统性的多电子排列。我们在这里展示了一个静电定义的量子点,是强大的无序,揭示了一个明确的壳结构。我们观察到四个壳层(31个电子),其多重性由自旋和谷自由度给出。我们探索了由单个价电子组成的各种填充物-即1,5,13和25个电子-作为潜在的量子比特,并且我们确定了在点上产生总自旋1的填充物。集成的微磁体使我们能够进行电驱动自旋共振(EDSR)。更高的壳层状态被证明更容易受到驱动场的影响,导致量子比特的拉比旋转更快。我们调查的p-和d-壳层电子的轨道激发单量子位作为点变形的函数的影响。这使我们能够调整点激发光谱,并利用它进行更快的量子位控制。此外,从这种可调的能级结构产生的热点提供了一个快速自旋初始化的途径。对自旋1态的观测将有助于研究反铁磁自旋链中的自旋保护拓扑态及其在量子计算中的应用。

英文摘要:

Once the periodic properties of elements were unveiled, chemical bonds could be understood in terms of the valence of atoms. Ideally, this rationale would extend to quantum dots, often termed artificial atoms, and quantum computation could be performed by merely controlling the outer-shell electrons of dot-based qubits. Imperfections in the semiconductor material, including at the atomic scale, disrupt this analogy between atoms and quantum dots, so that real devices seldom display such a systematic many-electron arrangement. We demonstrate here an electrostatically-defined quantum dot that is robust to disorder, revealing a well defined shell structure. We observe four shells (31 electrons) with multiplicities given by spin and valley degrees of freedom. We explore various fillings consisting of a single valence electron -- namely 1, 5, 13 and 25 electrons -- as potential qubits, and we identify fillings that yield a total spin-1 on the dot. An integrated micromagnet allows us to perform electrically-driven spin resonance (EDSR). Higher shell states are shown to be more susceptible to the driving field, leading to faster Rabi rotations of the qubit. We investigate the impact of orbital excitations of the p- and d-shell electrons on single qubits as a function of the dot deformation. This allows us to tune the dot excitation spectrum and exploit it for faster qubit control. Furthermore, hotspots arising from this tunable energy level structure provide a pathway towards fast spin initialisation. The observation of spin-1 states may be exploited in the future to study symmetry-protected topological states in antiferromagnetic spin chains and their application to quantum computing.
