Concept 16Silicon MOS spin qubits
Silicon MOS devices use gate-controlled electrons near an oxide interface.
Concept 17Si/SiGe heterostructuresStrained silicon quantum wells host low-disorder electron dots.
Concept 18Germanium hole-spin qubitsHoles offer strong electrically tunable spin–orbit interactions.
Concept 19Donor electron and nuclear spinsSingle dopant atoms can host localized spin memories.
Concept 20Isotopic purification and hyperfine noiseRemoving spinful isotopes can reduce nuclear-spin noise.
Concept 21Valley–orbit couplingInterface disorder can hybridize valley and orbital states.
