Recent Progress Towards a Solid State Quantum Computer in Silicon

Abstract: An overview will be given of experimental progress in demonstrating silicon-based quantum computing at the few qubit level, in which the qubits are comprised of engineered single phosphorus atoms embedded in the silicon host, with information encoded onto the electron spin state of these atoms.

The experimental work will be discussed in the context of a bi-linear MOS architecture compatible with scale-up and fault-tolerant operation involving fast, coherent transport of spin qubits around the chip. The presentation will also touch on interfacing CMOS control electronics to the qubit arrays.
