Abstract:
Realizing a strong coupling between spin and resonator is an important issue for scalable quantum computation in semiconductor systems. Benefiting from the advantages of a strong spin-orbit coupling strength and long coherence time, the Ge hut wire, which is proposed to be site-controlled grown for scalability, is considered to be a promising candidate to achieve this goal. Here we present a hybrid architecture in which an on-chip superconducting microwave resonator is coupled to the holes in a Ge quantum dot. The charge stability diagram can be obtained from the amplitude and phase responses of the resonator independently from the DC transport measurement. Furthermore, we estimate the hole-resonator coupling rate of gc/2π = 148 MHz in the single quantum dot-resonator system and estimate the spin-resonator coupling rate gs/2π to be in the range 2-4 MHz. We anticipate that strong coupling between hole spins and microwave photons in a Ge hut wire is feasible with optimized schemes in the future.

Detection of Black Holes
Their closest cousins are neutron stars, which are composed almost entirely of neutrons packed against each other, making them extremely dense. A neutron star has the same mass as the Sun but its diameter is only a few kilometers. Therefore, the escape velocity from their surface is close to the speed of light.
Not until the 1960s, when the first neutron...
The Dot Product
Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
The dot...
