First cohort of students dives into new quantum computing master’s degree

The inaugural MS in Physics–Quantum Computing is the first program of its kind in the U.S. It addresses an emerging workforce need by preparing students to enter this rapidly growing and highly complex field. Most of the students will complete their degrees August. We checked in with them after their first semester to see how their studies were going. Interested in earning a Master’s in Quantum Computing?

New Eriksson publication: Measurements of Capacitive Coupling Within a Quadruple-Quantum-Dot Array

Measurement of the capacitive coupling energy between two double dots from the shift of the polarization line, shown as blue geometric divided cells in a lime green backgroundThe Eriksson group, including first author, grad student Sam Neyens, recently published the paper “Measurements of Capacitive Coupling Within a Quadruple-Quantum-Dot Array” in Physical Review Applied. In it, they present measurements of the capacitive coupling energy and the interdot capacitances in a linear quadruple-quantum-dot array in undoped Si/SiGe. They provide a model for the capacitive coupling energy based on the electrostatics of a network of charge nodes joined by capacitors, which shows how the coupling energy should depend on inter-double-dot and intra-double-dot capacitances in the network, and find that the expected trends agree well with the measurements of coupling energy.
