NCCR SPIN Spin Qubits in Silicon

Research Project  | 11 Project Members

The main objective of NCCR SPIN is to develop reliable, fast, compact, scalable spin qubits in silicon and germanium. The vision is to control single spins with electrical means. Fast control of individual spins can be achieved with electrical pulses via a spin-orbit interaction. The spin-orbit interaction is either inherent (hole spin) or synthetic (electron spin in a magnetic field gradient). It also allows neighbouring spins to be coupled together electrically via superconducting resonators or floating gates. The specific aim of the first phase of the project is to develop the silicon spin qubits and spin-spin coupling strategies. Beyond fundamental research on the qubits and their architecture, there are further research efforts in many related areas of quantum computing, such as quantum error correction, quantum information, quantum algorithms and software, qubit control electronics and cryo-MOS, NISQ applications and algorithms. The long term goal is fault-tolerant universal quantum computing with a large number of logical qubits. The NCCR SPIN team consists of researchers from the University of Basel , IBM Research - Zurich , ETH Zurich , and EPF Lausanne . The team members are experts from various disciplines, such as quantum physics, materials science, engineering and computer science. In addition to the collaboration between academia and industry, the NCCR SPIN is characterized by very close links between theory and experiment as well as physics, materials science and engineering. The home institution is the University of Basel .
