• Abstract: Shuttling of single electrons in gate-defined silicon quantum dots is numerically simulated. A minimal gate geometry without explicit tunnel barrier gates is introduced, and used to define a chain of accumulation mode quantum dots, each controlled by a single gate voltage. One-dimensional potentials are derived from a three-dimensional electrostatic model, and used to construct an effective Hamiltonian for efficient simulation. Control pulse sequences are designed by maintaining a fixed adiabaticity, so that different shuttling conditions can be systematically compared. We first use these tools to optimize the device geometry for maximum transport velocity, considering only orbital states and neglecting valley and spin degrees of freedom. Taking realistic geometrical constraints into account, charge shuttling speeds up to $\sim$300 m/s preserve adiabaticity. Coherent spin transport is simulated by including spin-orbit and valley terms in an effective Hamiltonian, shuttling one member of a singlet pair and tracking the entanglement fidelity. With realistic device and material parameters, shuttle speeds in the range 10-100 m/s with high spin entanglement fidelities are obtained when the tunneling energy exceeds the Zeeman energy. High fidelity also requires the inter-dot valley phase difference to be below a threshold determined by the ratio of tunneling and Zeeman energies, so that spin-valley-orbit mixing is weak. In this regime, we find that the primary source of infidelity is a coherent spin rotation that is correctable, in principle. The results pertain to proposals for large-scale spin qubit processors in isotopically purified silicon that rely on coherent shuttling of spins to rapidly distribute quantum information between computational nodes.

  Quantum state transfer (QST) describes the coherent passage of quantum information from one node to another. We describe Monte Carlo techniques which enable the discovery of a Hamiltonian that gives high-fidelity QST. The resulting Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard and periodic Anderson models can, in principle, be engineered in appropriate hardware to give efficient QST.

  Localized electronic and nuclear spin qubits in the solid state constitute a promising platform for storage and manipulation of quantum information. We propose and analyze a scheme that employs a parity measurement in a decoherence free subspace to enable fast and robust entanglement generation. We find that high-fidelity entanglement at cryogenic and even ambient temperatures is feasible with realistic parameters, and show that the entangled pair can be subsequently leveraged for deterministic controlled-NOT operations.
