Publication number: 20220414516Abstract: An electronic component is formed by a semiconductor component or a semiconductor-like structure having gate electrode assemblies for manipulating the quantum state of qubits in quantum dots. It comprises a substrate comprising a two-dimensional electron gas or electron hole gas. Electrical contacts connect the gate electrode assemblies to voltage sources. A first gate electrode assembly having gate electrodes is arranged on a surface of the electronic component to generate movable potential wells in the substrate. A second gate electrode assembly serves to generate a potential barrier, which is adjacent to the first gate electrode assembly. The gate electrode assemblies have parallel electrode fingers, whereby the electrode fingers of the first gate electrode assembly are periodically and alternately interconnected in order to effect an almost continuous movement of the potential wells through the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Applicants: Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbHInventors: Matthias KÜNNE, Hendrik BLUHM, Lars SCHREIBER
