State-conditional coherent charge qubit oscillations in a Si/SiGe quadruple quantum dot
Abstract
Universal quantum computation requires high-fidelity single-qubit rotations and controlled two-qubit gates. Along with high-fidelity single-qubit gates, strong efforts have been made in developing robust two-qubit logic gates in electrically gated quantum dot systems to realise a compact and nanofabrication-compatible architecture. Here we perform measurements of state-conditional coherent oscillations of a charge qubit. Using four coupled quantum dots formed in a layered silicon and silicon-germanium structure, we show the first demonstration of coherent two-axis control of a double quantum dot charge qubit in undoped silicon/silicon-germanium, performing two types of qubit measurements. We extract the strength of the capacitive coupling between a pair of double quantum dots by measuring the detuning energy shift of one double dot depending on the excess charge configuration of the other double dot. We further demonstrate that the strong capacitive coupling allows fast, state-conditional quantum oscillations with a conditional pi phase flip time of about 80 ps, showing a promising pathway towards multi-qubit entanglement and control in semiconductor quantum dots.
