Electron Spin Qubits on Liquid Helium Guillaume Sabouret and Stephen Lyon Princeton University Electron spins as qubits Quantum dot plans for single spin measurements Clocking electrons on the surface of helium Photoemission electron source

Helium channels for electron transport For storing and moving qubits, we need a fairly high qubit density – electrons a few m apart To electrostatically control individual electrons, the electrodes must be no farther than a few m from them The channels are a convenient way to produce helium films a few m deep, in a controlled manner The electron motion is controlled with electrodes below the channels This is the structure of a buried-channel Si CCD Channel width and gate period = 4 m; depth = 2 m LHe ++ - Degenerate P+-Si

Spin Decohence Times Can move qubits, so normally keep them far apart (dipole-dipole at 10m ~ 104 sec) Residual spin-orbit interaction (v x E) v ~ 106 cm/sec, E ~ 104 V/cm  Beffective = B|| ~ 10-7 T B|| changes direction as electron scatters, so For  ~ 100 nsec  T2 ~ 106 sec 3He impurities on 4He surface (~ 0.01/m2) with motional narrowing  T2 ~ 105 sec Johnson noise currents in gate layers: d = distance to metal, t = metal film thickness For degenerately-doped Si, d ~ 2m, T ~ 30 mK  T2 ~ 105 sec On thin helium (quantum dot & 2-qubit gate), degenerately-doped Si electrode, d ~ 400Å, t ~ 1000Å  T2 ~ 1000 sec at 30mK Fluctuations of local spin density in nearby metal Thin helium, degenerately-doped Si electrode (p-type, T1 for holes ~30ps), d ~ 400Å, t ~ 1000Å  T2 ~ 2000 sec at 30mK Nuclear spins in gates/channels (use degenerately boron-doped 28Si) Free carriers rapidly relax nuclear spins  > 104 sec Paramagnetic defects? Few defects with unpaired spins in Si, and those relaxed rapidly by free carriers

Clocking Electrons on Helium How readily can we shift electrons around? Measurement of the mobility of the electrons that are free to move. -These experiments do not tell us the efficiency with which we transfer electrons (CTE = charge transfer efficiency) – charge trapping  CTE  1.0 W. T. Sommer and D. J. Tanner, Physical Review Letters 27, 20 (1971). CTE is normally seen as a smearing of a signal – start with many electrons on one gate and some get left behind with each shift Many shifts # electrons pixels

Thick (~ 0.9 mm) helium device 3mm wide gates Electrons outside gates Electrons above gates 1.55K 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1cm long Helium depth ~ 0.9 mm Guard ring (negative) to reduce interference from electrons outside our gates Clock voltages Voltage induced on left gate by the electrons on the helium goes to lockin amplifier - All gates carry a common dc bias to hold electrons (+4V  ~ 2.6x107 electrons/cm2 or 1 electrons per 4 µm2) Picture of the actual device

Clock Sequence (x3) (x3) Variable total period 0V Top plate (x3) (x3) We don’t have long shift register, so use sequence which kicks electrons off the He if they get “stuck” on a gate Clock electrons left and right but after transferring to gate 1 (left), raise energy on gates 6 & 7 (gates negative) to expel remaining electrons from the device Variable total period

No evidence for strong electron trapping at low frequencies CTE Measurements At low frequency (7 Hz) find CTE = .999 CTE decreases with increasing frequency because electrons must diffuse from one pixel to another, and pixels are huge (3mm) CTE would be negligible in Si for our pixel size and electron density No evidence for strong electron trapping at low frequencies

Channel Device Fabrication 4 µm

(The bumps arise from the strain of the flip-chipping) 4 µm 1 2 3 4 5 6 Commercial HEMT at low temperature for readout 7 Zoom on the channel. The 1.5 µm Silicon layer is open to reveal the underlying metallic gates.

Photoemission Source (Shyam Shankar) Problem with filaments: too much heat Fiber Ground Transparent Zinc on Sapphire Helium film Liquid Helium +V Wilen and Gianetta (1985) - Photoemission from Zinc - 1KW arc lamp focused into fiber Try low power lamp and small setup

Photoemission Source Pulsed Xenon Source (Ocean Optics PX-2) 600 micron Solarization resistant fiber 10nm Ti / 20nm Zn on Sapphire substrate Get 107-108 electrons in about 20 seconds Adjust charge up rate by varying pulse rate Find threshold voltage of 2V (4V/cm)

How do the Electrons get through the Helium film? Zn He Vacuum Boil off Helium Get 200 times more current if no Helium present Only ~100nJ total energy in UV pulse – can’t boil film No 1 2 1eV Barrier 3 Vacuum Level Work Function (4.3 eV) Emit over Helium Tunnel through Helium Form a bubble and then escape UV Light Fermi Energy Zn Helium Vacuum

Bubble States? Lamp flashes for 5s every 5ms (200 Hz) Applied Voltage Low Voltage Time Lamp flashes for 5s every 5ms (200 Hz) Low voltage (below 2V threshold) during lamp flash and for a variable time after flash Some electrons even after almost 1ms

Summary Developed a method to measure charge-transfer-efficiency on thick helium without building a long array Measured a of 0.999 at ~107 electrons/cm2 and low frequency CTE can be understood in terms of electron diffusion No evidence of electron trapping Cond-mat/0602228 Demonstrated electron clocking in a 4 µm-wide channel Developed an electron photoemission source Small, low power UV source Photoemission mechanism not fully understood
