IFAE Seminar Room (In-person Seminar)

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.
