• Abstract: The orbital, spin and valley degrees of freedom in silicon quantum dots support many modes of spin qubit operation. However, it is generally challenging to obtain information about the energy level spectrum over large ranges of parameter space. We demonstrate a form of spectroscopy that is capable of mapping the energy level structure of a double quantum dot as a function of level detuning, interdot tunnel coupling, and magnetic field. In the one electron regime, we directly observe the transition from the atom like energy levels of isolated quantum dots to molecular like bonding and anti bonding states with increasing interdot tunnel coupling. We also resolve the Zeeman splitting of ground and excited valley states in a magnetic field. In the two electron regime, we gain access to the detuning dependent singlet triplet splitting. Our work may be extended to a broader class of systems, such as strong spin-orbit materials or proximitized quantum dots, allowing the direct extraction of various energy gaps.

  We study double quantum dots coupled to a quasistatic cavity mode with high mode-volume compression. electrons in different double quantum dots interact with each other via dipole-dipole (Coulomb) interaction. We show that, in the strong coupling regime, both the ground and the first excited states of an array of double quantum dots are squeezed Schr"odinger cat states.

• Spin-Dependent Transport Through a Colloidal Quantum Dot: The Role of Exchange Interactions [0.0]
  We combine atomistic electronic structure calculations with quantum master equation methods to study the transport of electrons and holes through strongly confined quantum dots. We find that a competition between the energy spacing between the two lowest quasiparticle energy levels determines the spin states of the lowest two quasiparticle energy levels. The low density of electron states results in a spin singlet being the lowest energy two-electron state whereas, in contrast, the high density of states and significant exchange interaction results in a spin triplet being the lowest energy two-hole state.
