Abstract

Quantum dot devices, and related systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a quantum dot device may include a quantum well stack; a plurality of first gate lines above the quantum well stack; a plurality of second gate lines above the quantum well stack, wherein the second gate lines are perpendicular to the first gate lines; and an array of regularly spaced magnet lines.

Claims (30)

1. A quantum dot device, comprising:

a quantum well stack;

a plurality of first gate lines above the quantum well stack;

a plurality of second gate lines above the quantum well stack, wherein the second gate lines are perpendicular to the first gate lines; and

an array of regularly spaced magnet lines.

2. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the magnet lines in the array of magnet lines are parallel to each other.

3. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate lines are at least partially between the second gate lines and the quantum well stack.

4. The quantum dot device of claim 3 , wherein the magnet lines are parallel to the first gate lines.

5. The quantum dot device of claim 4 , wherein the magnet lines are vertically aligned with the first gate lines.

6. The quantum dot device of claim 3 , wherein the magnet lines are parallel to the second gate lines.

7. The quantum dot device of claim 6 , wherein the magnet lines are vertically aligned with the second gate lines.

8. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the magnet lines are oriented diagonally to the first gate lines and the second gate lines.

9. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the first gate lines and the second gate lines are at a first face of the quantum well stack, and the magnet lines are at a second, opposite face of the quantum well stack.

10. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the magnet lines include a magnetic material.

11. The quantum dot device of claim 10 , wherein the magnet lines include cobalt.

12. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the magnet lines include a non-magnetic material.

13. The quantum dot device of claim 1 , wherein the magnet lines have a pitch between 5 nanometers and 200 nanometers.

14. A quantum computing device, comprising:

a quantum processing device, wherein the quantum processing device includes a quantum well stack, a plurality of first gate lines above the quantum well stack, a plurality of second gate lines above the quantum well stack, and an array of regularly spaced magnet lines, wherein the second gate lines are perpendicular to the first gate lines;

a non-quantum processing device, coupled to the quantum processing device, to control electrical signals applied to the first gate lines and the second gate lines; and

a memory device to store data generated during operation of the quantum processing device.

15. The quantum computing device of claim 14 , wherein the memory device is to store instructions for a quantum computing algorithm to be executed by the quantum processing device.

16. The quantum computing device of claim 14 , wherein the first gate lines and the second gate lines are at a first face of the quantum well stack, and the magnet lines are at a second, opposite face of the quantum well stack.

17. A quantum dot device, comprising:

a quantum well stack including a quantum well layer;

a plurality of gates above the quantum well layer; and

a plurality of magnets below the quantum well layer.

18. The quantum dot device of claim 17 , wherein the magnets include a magnetic material.

19. The quantum dot device of claim 17 , wherein the magnets include cobalt.

20. The quantum dot device of claim 17 , wherein quantum well stack includes silicon germanium.
