National Security Science and Engineering Faculty Fellowship (NSSEFF) – 2014 Fellows Towards Scalable Quantum Computation with Electrically-Gated Silicon Quantum Dot Qubits

Towards Scalable Quantum Computation with Electrically-Gated Silicon Quantum Dot Qubits Susan Coppersmith, University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected] Dr. Coppersmith’s research currently focuses on the development of quantum information processing devices using electrically-controlled semiconducting quantum dots. This technology has emerged as an attractive candidate for large-scale quantum information processors because of the promise of scalability, manipulability, and integration with existing classical electronics technologies. Her NSSEFF project uses theory, modeling, device design, and experiment to investigate fairly radical device design changes that have the potential to greatly enhance tunability, performance, and scalability of qubits in electrically-gated quantum dots.
