A three-qubit entangled state has been realized in a fully controllable array of spin qubits in silicon

Phys.org  September 10, 2021 Researchers in Japan have developed a device consisting of a triple quantum dot on a silicon/silicon–germanium heterostructure and controlled through aluminum gates. Each quantum dot can host one electron, whose spin-up and spin-down states encode a qubit. An on-chip magnet generates a magnetic-field gradient that separates the resonance frequencies of the three qubits, so that they can be individually addressed. They first entangled two of the qubits by implementing a two-qubit gate and then realized three-qubit entanglement by combining the third qubit and the gate. The resulting three-qubit state had a remarkably high state fidelity of […]
