“Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Semiconductor Spin Qubits”

Electron spins are excellent candidates for solid state quantum computing due to their exceptionally long quantum coherence times, which is a result of weak coupling to environmental degrees of freedom. However, this isolation comes with a cost, as it is difficult to coherently couple two spins in the solid state, especially when they are separated by a large distance. Here we combine a large electric-dipole interaction with spin-orbit coupling to achieve spin-photon coupling. Vacuum Rabi splitting is observed in the cavity transmission as the Zeeman splitting of a single spin is tuned into resonance with the cavity photon. We achieve a spin-photon coupling rate as large as gs/2π = 10 MHz, which exceeds both the cavity decay rate κ/2π = 1.8 MHz and spin dephasing rate γs/2π= 2.4 MHz, firmly anchoring our system in the strong-coupling regime [1]. We next utilize spin-photon coupling to achieve a resonant spin- spin interaction between two spins that are separated by more than 4 mm [2]. Our results demonstrate that microwave-frequency photons can be used as a resource to generate long- range two-qubit gates between spatially separated spins. I will also present extensions of this work to dot-donor systems, where theory suggests that high fidelity microwave readout of a single nuclear spin state is within reach [3].
