I will attempt to answer three questions relating to the scalability of these devices. How do electron and hole spin qubits perform in silicon quantum dots? How do we implement and distribute the placement of dispersive gate sensors in scaled-up quantum dot arrays? And how does a single dopant in the silicon channel affect the gate-defined quantum dot? First, I investigate the difference between electron and hole quantum dots in an ambipolar nanowire device which successfully demonstrated reconfigurable single and double electron and hole quantum dots in the same crystalline environment. I further investigate the effective bath temperature of two-dimensional electron gas and two-dimensional hole gas by performing the thermometry experiment on the same type of device. Secondly, I demonstrate a two-dimensional quantum dot array enabled by a floating gate architecture between silicon nanowires. An analytical model is developed to study the capacitive coupling between remote quantum dots over different distances. Coupling strength under different qubit encodings is also discussed to show the best implementation for neighbour silicon nanowires. Finally, the in-situ dispersive gate sensing allows the measurement of the inter-dot transition between the bismuth donor-dot system. The novel implementation with bismuth donor can open up the possibility of a hybrid singlet-triplet qubit or transferring a coherent spin state between the quantum dot and the donor. date: 2022-10-28 date_type: published oa_status: green full_text_type: other thesis_class: doctoral_open thesis_award: Ph.D language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1982317 lyricists_name: Duan, Jingyu lyricists_id: JDUAN23 actors_name: Duan, Jingyu actors_id: JDUAN23 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pagerange: 1-156 pages: 156 institution: UCL (University College London) department: Electronic & Electrical Engineering thesis_type: Doctoral editors_name: Morton, JOHN citation: Duan, Jingyu; (2022) Gate-based sensing of silicon quantum dot devices towards 2D scaling.
