Realistic Read-Out and Control for Si:P Based Quantum Computers Realistic read-out and control for Si:P based quantum computers by Matthew James Testolin BSc(Hons) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Physics The University of Melbourne Australia August, 2008 Abstract This thesis identifies problems with the current operation proposals for Si:P based solid-state quantum computing architectures and outlines realistic alter- natives as an effective fix. The focus is qubit read-out and robust two-qubit control of the exchange interaction in the presence of both systematic and environmental errors. We develop a theoretical model of the doubly occupied D− read-out state found in Si:P based nuclear spin architectures. We test our theory by using it to determine the binding energy of the D− state, comparing to known re- sults. Our model can be used in detailed calculations of the adiabatic read-out protocol proposed for these devices. Regarding this protocol, preliminary cal- culations suggest the small binding energy of the doubly occupied read-out state will result in a state dwell-time less than that required for measurement using a single electron transistor (SET). We propose and analyse an alterna- tive approach to single-spin read-out using optically induced spin to charge transduction, showing that the top gate biases required for qubit selection are significantly less than those demanded by the adiabatic scheme, thereby in- + creasing the D D− lifetime. Implications for singlet-triplet discrimination for electron spin qubits are also discussed. On the topic of robust two-qubit control, we demonstrate how by using two-qubit composite rotations a high fidelity controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate can be constructed, even when the strength of the interaction between qubits is not accurately known. We focus on the exchange interaction oscillation in silicon based solid-state architectures with a Heisenberg Hamiltonian. This method easily applies to a general two-qubit Hamiltonian. We show how the robust CNOT gate can achieve a very high fidelity when a single application of the composite rotations is combined with a modest level of Hamiltonian characterisation. Operating the robust CNOT gate in a suitably characterised system means concatenation of the composite pulse is unnecessary, hence re- ducing operation time, ensuring the gate operates below the threshold required i for fault-tolerant quantum computation. We finish by outlining how the effects of charge noise on a pair of spins cou- pled via the exchange interaction can be calculated by modelling the charge fluctuations as a random telegraph noise (RTN) process using probability den- sity functions. We develop analytic expressions for the time-dependent super- operator of a pair of spins as a function of fluctuation amplitude and rate. We show that the theory can be extended to include multiple fluctuators, in particular, spectral distributions of fluctuators. These superoperators can be included in time-dependent analyses of the state of spin systems designed for spintronics or quantum information processing to determine the decohering effects of exchange fluctuations. We discuss the implications of the charge noise produced from a single fluctuator on the operation fidelity of our robust CNOT gate, comparing the performance to an uncorrected CNOT gate. ii Declaration This is to certify that (i) the thesis comprises only my original work towards the PhD except where indicated in the Introduction, (ii) due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other material used, (iii) the thesis is less than 100,000 words in length, exclusive of tables, maps, bibliographies, appendices and footnotes. I authorise the Head of the School of Physics to make or have made a copy of this thesis to any person judged to have an acceptable reason for access to the information, i.e., for research, study or instruction. Signature Date iii Acknowledgements This thesis and the work it entailed would not have been possible without the support of a number of people who I now wish to acknowledge. Firstly, I would like to thank Lloyd Hollenberg for his dedicated supervision. His insight, guid- ance and patience have been invaluable throughout my PhD candidature and honours year and his door always open. Most of the early work in this thesis would not have been possible without the assistance of Cameron Wellard. I particularly value Cam’s practical approach and much of his advice has re- mained with me throughout this PhD. Both he and Andrew Greentree never seemed to tire of my numerous questions and concerns and I thank them both for that. I would also like to acknowledge Charles Hill and Jared Cole for their collaboration on parts of this research. Working closely with peers has been one of the most enjoyable of all the PhD experiences. There are many others from the School of Physics that have had either direct or indirect influence on both myself and this PhD thesis, however I would like to highlight the contributions of a few. The members of the DMAP group as well as my roommates (from 402 and 606) in particular Gajendran Kandasamy, Jared Cole, Jason Doukas, John McIntosh, Joo Chew Ang and Vince Conrad. I’m also thankful for the constant source of useful distraction provided by those on the sixth floor. I reserve a very special thanks for Kristian McDonald. Without close friends outside the School of Physics, completing this thesis would have been an onerous task. I’d like to thank all those who helped me to escape from the pressures of a PhD, especially Cameron Grech, Matt Lynch, Anthony Lewis, James Copes, Andrew Allan, Adrian Polizzi, James Hartigan, Gerard McMahon, Wojtek Ruszkowski, Jane Leigh, Sally Malone and Nadia Polizzi. Thanks for your friendship, advice, the taunts... Finally, I would like to thank my family for their loving support. I’m not sure how you have put up with me and continued to encourage me after all these years of study but I am extremely grateful for it. Thank you mum, dad and Sarah. v List of Publications Throughout the course of this project a number of the key results presented in this thesis have appeared in publication.

NMR: study of the transitions between the Zeeman levels of an atomic nucleus in a magnetic field. • If put a system of nuclei with non-zero spin in E static magnetic field, there 2 E will be different energy RF 0 levels. 0 E2 E1 • If radio frequency wave with is applied, RF 0 E1 transitions will occur. Nuclear Energy Levels 2 Nuclear magnetic resonance NMR is one of the most important spectroscopic techniques available in molecular sciences since the frequencies of the NMR signal allow study of molecular structure. Basic idea: use nuclear spins of molecules as qubits Liquid NMR: rapid molecular motion in fluids greatly simplifies the NMR Hamiltonian as anisotropic interactions can be replaced by their isotropic averages, often zero. The signals are often narrow (high-resolution NMR). It is impossible to pick individual molecule. The combined signal from all molecules is detected (“bulk” NMR). Liquid Solution NMR Billions of molecules are used, each one a separate quantum computer. Most advanced experimental demonstrations to date, but poor scalability as molecule design gets difficult. Qubits are stored in nuclear spin of molecules and controlled by different frequencies of magnetic pulses. Vandersypen, 2000 Used to factor 15 experimentally.

The ultimate miniaturization of electronic devices will likely require local and coherent control of single electronic wavefunctions. Wavefunctions exist within both physical real space and an abstract state space with a simple geometric interpretation: this state space—or Hilbert space—is spanned by mutually orthogonal state vectors corresponding to the quantized degrees of freedom of the real-space system. Measurement of superpositions is akin to accessing the direction of a vector in Hilbert space, determining an angle of rotation equivalent to quantum phase. Here we show that an individual atom inside a designed quantum corral1 can control this angle, producing arbitrary coherent superpositions of spatial quantum states. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy and nanostructures assembled atom-by-atom2 we demonstrate how single spins and quantum mirages3 can be harnessed to image the superposition of two electronic states. We also present a straightforward method to determine the atom path enacting phase rotations between any desired state vectors. A single atom thus becomes a real- space handle for an abstract Hilbert space, providing a simple technique for coherent quantum state manipulation at the spatial limit of condensed matter.

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed: [email protected] (Jyh-Pin Chou) and [email protected] (Adam Gali) Abstract Quantum technology has grown out of quantum information theory and now provides a valuable tool that researchers from numerous fields can add to their toolbox of research methods. To date, various systems have been exploited to promote the application of quantum information processing. The systems that can be used for quantum technology include superconducting circuits, ultra-cold atoms, trapped ions, semiconductor quantum dots, and solid-state spins and emitters. In this review, we will discuss the state of the art on material platforms for spin-based quantum technology, with a focus on the progress in solid- state spins and emitters in several leading host materials, including diamond, silicon carbide, boron nitride, silicon, two-dimensional semiconductors, and other materials. We will highlight how first- principles calculations can serve as an exceptionally robust tool for finding the novel defect qubits and single photon emitters in solids, through detailed predictions of the electronic, magnetic and optical properties.
