Quantum Dots

General introductory materials

Title	Link	Comments	Undergrad.	Postgrad.
Intro to spin qubits	Intro_to_spin_qubits_Aruna.pdf	Intro document written by Aruna durring a SQA summer project	Nice introduction to the field. Reccomended to get started, even just a skim	If you're familiar with the field you probably know this. Worth a skim to get started.
Spins in few electron quantum dots - Hanson et al.	https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.79.1217 https://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0610433	Classic review of the field from 2000's published in Review of modern physics. This is the new testament of spin qubits.	No need to feel you need to read the whole thing. Focus on the introduction and 'Basics of Quantum Dots'. Make a list of thing you didnt understand and bring it to group meetings to discuss.	Required reading. Take it slow. Skip around the sections and bring questions to the group.
Silicon Quantum Electronics - Zwanenburg et al.	https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.85.961 https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.5202	Nice review focussing on silicon quantum dots published in Reviews of Modern Physics The reformation text, bringing about the new silicon ways. Includes several UNSW co-authors.	Read the introduction and the first section of 'Quantum Confinement'	Each section starts out reasonably general then becomes more technical. Try get as far as you can into each section. Then come talk to the about any questions you have.
Few electron quantum dots - Kouwenhoven et al.	https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0034-4885/64/6/201	If Hanson is the new testament, this is the old testament.	Probably more technical than you need.	Useful for getting across some of the early literature such as artificial atoms and fock-Darwin spectrum. can be a bit technical/outdated compared to more recent reviews

Introductory research papers:

Title	Link	Comments	Undergrad.	Postgrad.
Single-shot read-out of an individual electron spin in a quantum dot	https://www.nature.com/articles/nature02693	How can we use a charge sensor to readout spin?	A generally well written paper. If you can understand the measurement you are doing well.	Required reading. Fundamental to the techniques protocols we use.
Gate-Defined Quantum Dots in Intrinsic Silicon	https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/nl070949k	Fundamentals of how our groups quantum dot devices work and operate.	Focus on what figure 1 is showing and what Figure 2 is demonstrating	Read the whole way though to get some introduction to basic measurements of quantum dots and/or SET's

Spin Readout

Papers on PSB readout, latched readout and related techniques.

PSB Readout

Title	Link	Comments
Pauli Blockade in Silicon Quantum Dots with Spin-Orbit Control	https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.2.010303	How to use Pauli blockade to perform readout across two spin qubits.

Latched Readout

Title	Link	Comments
Enhanced charge detection of spin qubit readout via an intermediate state	https://arxiv.org/pdf/1206.0778	The first paper (that im aware of) that identifies the concept of latching as an enhanced readout mechanism.
High-Fidelity Single-Shot Readout for a Spin Qubit via an Enhanced Latching Mechanism	https://journals.aps.org/prx/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevX.8.021046	Probably the most comprehensice description of latched readout.

Qubit Papers

Key papers to understand spin-qubit concepts.

Singlet Triplet Qubits

Title	Link	Comments

Coherent Manipulation of coupled electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots	https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1116955	Introduction to singlet-triplet qubits. Also provides a solid background to pulsing techniques/considerations for other qubits
A singlet-triplet hole spin qubit in planar Ge	https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-021-01022-2	Singlet-triplet qubit for holes in silicon. Energy levels and mixing gets more complicated.

Two-qubit operation

Title	Link	Comments

Access Control

Previously the default template was set up so that all pages were visible by the whole world, and we relied upon authors to use access control to limit access to sensitive pages. That hasn't worked, so now pages are by default only visible to QED group members. Delete the following line if this page is meant to be visible by the whole world.
