• Abstract: The presence of valley states is a significant obstacle to realizing quantum information technologies in Silicon quantum dots, as leakage into alternate valley states can introduce errors into the computation. We use a perturbative analytical approach to study the dynamics of exchange-coupled quantum dots with valley degrees of freedom. We show that if the valley splitting is large and electrons are not properly initialized to valley eigenstates, then time evolution of the system will lead to spin-valley entanglement. Spin-valley entanglement will also occur if the valley splitting is small and electrons are not initialized to the same valley state. Additionally, we show that for small valley splitting, spin-valley entanglement does not affect measurement probabilities of two-qubit systems; however, systems with more qubits will be affected. This means that two-qubit gate fidelities measured in two-qubit systems may miss the effects of valley degrees of freedom. Our work shows how the existence of valleys may adversely affect multiqubit fidelities even when the system temperature is very low.

  Bilayer graphene is a promising platform for electrically controllable qubits in a two-dimensional material. We measure the characteristic relaxation times of spin and valley states in gate-defined bilayer graphene quantum dot devices. The relaxation time between valley triplets and singlets exceeds 500ms, and is more than one order of magnitude longer than for spin states.

  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

  We report a phenomenon occurring in open quantum systems by which virtual states can acquire a sizable population in the long time limit. This means that the situation where the virtual state remains unpopulated can be metastable. We show how these results can be relevant for practical questions such as the generation of stable and metastable entangled states in dissipative systems of interacting qubits.
