Spin Based Quantum Technologies

The spin degree of freedom provides a natural two-level system that can be used as qubits. The spins are isolated from the environment and provide a long coherence time. Coherent t control of spin qubits can be achieved by a resonant microwave field. Efficient readout of electron and nuclear spin can be realized using optically based approaches, electrical readout and microwave cavity-based readout. Scaling of spin-qubit based systems can be achieved based on dipolar or exchange coupling as well as long range cavity mediated microwave coupling. Examples of promising spin qubits include electrons in semiconductor quantum dots, spins associated with colour centres in wide-band gap semiconductors, molecular electron and nuclear spins.
