Possible Hundredfold Enhancement in the Direct Magnetic Coupling of a Single-Atom Electron Spin to a Circuit Resonator

Abstract

We report on the challenges and limitations of direct coupling of the magnetic field from a circuit resonator to an electron spin bound to a donor potential. We propose a device consisting of a trilayer lumped-element superconducting resonator and a single donor implanted in enriched 28 Si. The resonator impedance is significantly smaller than the practically achievable limit using prevalent coplanar resonators. Furthermore, the resonator includes a nano-scale spiral inductor to spatially focus the magnetic field from the photons at the location of the implanted donor. The design promises approximately two orders of magnitude increase in the local magnetic field, and thus the spin to photon coupling rate g, compared to the estimated coupling rate to the magnetic field of coplanar transmission-line resonators. We show that by using niobium (aluminum) as the resonator's superconductor and a single phosphorous (bismuth) atom as the donor, a coupling rate of g/2π=0.24 MHz (0.39 MHz) can be achieved in the single photon regime. For this hybrid cavity quantum electrodynamic system, such enhancement in g is sufficient to enter the strong coupling regime. arXiv:1702.02210v3 [cond-mat.mes-hall]

Broad-band spectroscopy of a vanadyl porphyrin: a model electronuclear spin qudit

“…For this region of frequencies, microwave pulse amplitudes of about 1 mT can be easily generated, and this value can be improved by adequate circuit design. 31 This gives rise to Rabi frequencies for individual operations that are in the range of a few (tens of) MHz (see Fig. 7 ), thus faster than decoherence rates.…”

Light Amplification without Inversion from Hybrid Quantum Dot–Resonator Circuit: Floquet Nonequilibrium Green's Function Approach

“…This direct magnetic dipole coupling strength has been recently predicted for a lumped element circuit resonator that includes a spiral inductors. [ 38 ] In general, the gain happens by deviation from the thermal equilibrium which is called population inversion. Implementation of population inversion for a two‐level system such as QD, which has been considered here, is very difficult or even impossible.…”

Stabilizing Rabi oscillation of a charge qubit via the atomic clock technique

“…The design of inductor L has other different options, such as the single-layer spiral coil structure [55], whose self-capacitance, however, needs to be determined in the experiment due to the lack of relevant analytical results. Appendix B. Parasitic inductance and capacitance from C s…”
