Spin qubits: spin relaxation in coupled quantum dots

Abstract

The spin-flip scattering mechanism in coupled self-assembled quantum dots made with InAs/GaAs with the use of realistic material parameters is theoretically and numerically investigated. The electron wave functions within the coupled system have been calculated by the 8-band strain dependent k • p theory. The phonon coupling to electrons is described by deformation potential and piezoelectric acoustic phonons. First order perturbation theory has been employed to evaluate the spin relaxation rates and spin-flip time T1. The numerical results show that parameters like the interdot distance and the applied static magnetic field are of crucial importance in spin-flip mechanism. The spin relaxation time has been also studied by varying the lattice temperature and by showing the differences between the quantum computing operation temperature (T ∼ 1 K) and large temperatures.

Quantum Correlation Resource Recycling via Sequential Measurements: Theoretical Models and Optical Experiments

“…These works extensively discuss the quantum correlation sharing in different sequential weak measurement scenarios, where adjustable parameters include, but are not limited to, input qubit biases, the sharpness of different measurement settings, and one-sided/two-sided sequences, which are of great significance for efficient utilization of quantum correlations. The quantum correlation recycling experiments currently implemented in optical setups are also conducive to the development of emerging quantum technology at the practical and application level and provide guidance for other important qubit platforms, such as solid-state qubits [39,40]. This review summarizes and discusses the theoretical and experimental developments in quantum correlation recycling under sequential weak measurements, aiming to provide readers with more insights on quantum resource utilization based on different measurement strategies.…”

Electrical control of a spin qubit in InSb nanowire quantum dots: Strongly suppressed spin relaxation in high magnetic field

“…Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) plays an essential role in the EDSR spin qubit scheme, since it allows transitions between qubit states using the spin-independent driving, such as electric-dipole interaction. On the other hand, the presence of SOC induces undesired phonon mediated transitions between qubit states [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. In order to suppress the coupling to phonons, approaches like the optimal design of QDs [18,19] or the control of system size [20] was suggested.…”
