• Abstract: Semiconductor quantum dot qubits often require very different voltages on each gate to bring them to a correct operating point. Here, we present a method by which one can controllably and repeatably alter the nanoscale trapped charge distribution at an oxide-semiconductor interface. We demonstrate this method on a Si/SiGe quantum dot device, and we find that the operating voltages can be controlled and made much more uniform. The method relies on illumination with near-infrared light in the presence of applied gate voltages, and it enables the tuning of the device operating point on a gate-by-gate basis. We present an explanation of the underlying physics using self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson simulations. As an application of this method, we tune a triple quantum dot to have uniform and small operating voltages in the (1,1,1) charge configuration. Importantly, we show that shifting the operating voltages in this way does not change the measured charge noise.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes. We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.
