摘要:

Si/SiGe量子阱中量子点自旋量子比特的大规模阵列需要与简并导带最小值相关联的谷态的大的或可调的能量分裂。确定性地增强谷分裂的现有提议依赖于可能难以生长的量子阱势垒中的尖锐界面或修改。在这里,我们提出并证明了一种新的异质结构,“摆动井”,其主要特点是Ge浓度振荡内的量子阱。在实验上,我们表明,将Ge放置在量子阱中不会显著影响我们形成和操纵单电子量子点的能力。我们进一步观察到大的和广泛可调的谷分裂,从54至239微电子伏特。紧束缚计算,和谷分裂的可调谐性,表明这些结果可以主要归因于随机浓度波动的存在下,Ge合金的异质结构中放大,而不是一个确定性的增强由于浓度振荡。对其他几种异质结构的定量预测指出,Wiggle Well是一种可靠的方法,可以在未来的量子位器件中增强谷分裂。

英文摘要:

Large-scale arrays of quantum-dot spin qubits in Si/SiGe quantum wells require large or tunable energy splittings of the valley states associated with degenerate conduction band minima. Existing proposals to deterministically enhance the valley splitting rely on sharp interfaces or modifications in the quantum well barriers that can be difficult to grow. Here, we propose and demonstrate a new heterostructure, the "Wiggle Well," whose key feature is Ge concentration oscillations inside the quantum well. Experimentally, we show that placing Ge in the quantum well does not significantly impact our ability to form and manipulate single-electron quantum dots. We further observe large and widely tunable valley splittings, from 54 to 239 ueV. Tight-binding calculations, and the tunability of the valley splitting, indicate that these results can mainly be attributed to random concentration fluctuations that are amplified by the presence of Ge alloy in the heterostructure, as opposed to a deterministic enhancement due to the concentration oscillations. Quantitative predictions for several other heterostructures point to the Wiggle Well as a robust method for reliably enhancing the valley splitting in future qubit devices.
