Silicon MOS spin qubits

Silicon MOS devices use gate-controlled electrons near an oxide interface.

01 / Mathematical framework
$$H=H_{\rm orbital}+H_Z+H_{\rm valley}$$

Physical intuition

Silicon MOS devices use gate-controlled electrons near an oxide interface.

Deep dive: physical mechanism

Gate stacks confine electrons, while interface chemistry shapes orbital and valley physics.

What is measured experimentally?

Charge diagrams, ESR and valley spectroscopy assess devices.

Assumptions, noise and limitations

Interface roughness and oxide traps cause variability.

Research and simulation exercise

Build a simple MOS-dot energy-level diagram.
