• Title: Control of threshold voltages in Si/SiGe quantum devices via optical illumination
• Abstract summary: We show that illumination under an applied gate voltage can be used to set a specific, stable, and reproducible threshold voltage. We present a simple and intuitive model that provides a mechanism for the tunability in gate bias. The model presented also explains why cryogenic illumination is successful at resetting quantum dot qubit devices after undesired charging events.

• Abstract: Optical illumination of quantum-dot qubit devices at cryogenic temperatures, while not well studied, is often used to recover operating conditions after undesired shocking events or charge injection. Here, we demonstrate systematic threshold voltage shifts in a dopant-free, Si/SiGe field effect transistor using a near infrared (780 nm) laser diode. We find that illumination under an applied gate voltage can be used to set a specific, stable, and reproducible threshold voltage that, over a wide range in gate bias, is equal to that gate bias. Outside this range, the threshold voltage can still be tuned, although the resulting threshold voltage is no longer equal to the applied gate bias during illumination. We present a simple and intuitive model that provides a mechanism for the tunability in gate bias. The model presented also explains why cryogenic illumination is successful at resetting quantum dot qubit devices after undesired charging events.

• Quantum microwaves: stabilizing squeezed light by phase locking [0.0]
  Josephson junctions coupled to microwave cavities are a versatile and simple source for microwaves with quantum characteristics. A drawback of this method is that it suffers from bias voltage noise, which disturbs the phase of the junction. We describe how adding a small ac reference signal either to the dc-bias or directly into the cavity can stabilize the system and counteract the sensitivity to noise.
