Description

Recent advances in the field of spin qubits have unlocked the several qubit regime. While these are momentous achievements, they were hard fought, as progress towards more complex solid-state spin-based quantum devices is challenging. Why attempt this when competing platforms are currently well-ahead? Their compact size and suitability for semiconductor industry adaption make solid-state spin qubits attractive candidates on a longer timescale, well beyond the current NISQ era, when truly large amounts of qubits are required in a future quantum processor. In this talk I will give an introduction and overview of the current status in spin qubit land. I will focus on the various semiconducting material platforms, discussing their pro's and con's. I will highlight my own research interests and directions, and how these contribute to developing spin qubits for quantum tech purposes, but also for usage in fundamental quantum physics studies.
