INDEPENDENT DOUBLE-GATE QUANTUM DOT QUBITS

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are quantum dot devices, as well as related computing devices and methods. For example, in some embodiments, a quantum dot device may include a base and a fin extending away from the base and including a quantum well layer. The device may further include a first gate disposed on a first side of the fin and a second gate disposed on a second side of the fin, different from the first side. Providing gates on different sides of a fin advantageously allows increasing the number of quantum dots which may be independently formed and manipulated in the fin. The quantum dots formed in such a device may be constrained in the x-direction by the one or more gates, in the y-direction by the fin, and in the z-direction by the quantum well layer, as discussed in detail herein. Methods for fabricating such devices are also disclosed.
