Publication number: 20230259673Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method for estimating a solution to a problem represented by a Hamiltonian on a quantum computer having a quantum state. A classical computer determines a trial state and evolves the quantum state of the quantum computer based on the trial state. The computer then determines estimates for expectation values with respect to the trial state of powers of the Hamiltonian based on measurements from the quantum computer and calculates an estimate of the solution based on the estimates for the expectation values of powers of the Hamiltonian for the trial state. The computer then repeated updates the trial state and repeats the measuring steps to iteratively improve the estimate of the solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2021Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, Charles David Hill, Michael Alexander Jones, Harish James Vallury, Aochen Duan, Sarama Usriya Yi Xiang Tonetto

Publication number: 20220138927Abstract: This disclosure relates to automatic determination of locations of one or more closely spaced donor atoms implanted into a semiconductor crystal lattice. A processor receives image data generated by a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM). The image data is indicative of a tunnelling current between a scanning tip and the crystal lattice at multiple image locations. The processor applies a trained machine learning model to the image data to determine a classification into one of multiple candidate configurations of the one or more donor atoms. The multiple candidate configurations relate to different locations of the one or more donor atoms in the semiconductor crystal lattice. Based on an output of the trained machine learning model, the processor determines the location of the one or more donor atoms in the semiconductor crystal lattice.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, Muhammad Usman, Yi Zheng Wong

Publication number: 20210256413Abstract: This disclosure relates to quantum computer arrays. In particular, a quantum processor comprises an array of source lines, drain lines and gate lines intersecting each other to define processor cells. Each of the processor cells comprise a first qubit, a second qubit and an electron confinement region disposed between the first qubit and the second qubit. A control circuit controls loading and unloading of an electron into the electron confinement region. The loading of the electron into the confinement region enables exchange interaction between electrons of the first qubit and the second qubit, and the unloading of the electron out of the electron confinement region suppresses exchange interaction between the electrons of the first qubit and the second qubit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, Charles David Hill, Muhammad Usman

Patent number: 8507894Abstract: This invention concerns an electronic device for the control and readout of the electron or hole spin of a single dopant in silicon. The device comprises a silicon substrate in which there are one or more ohmic contact regions. An insulating region on top of the substrate. First and second barrier gates spaced apart to isolate a small region of charges to form an island of a Single Electron Transistor (SET). A third gate over-lying both the first and second barrier gates, but insulated from them, the third gate being able to generate a gate-induced charge layer (GICL) in the beneath it. A fourth gate in close proximity to a single dopant atom, the dopant atom being encapsulated in the substrate outside the region of the GICL but close enough to allow spin-dependent charge tunnelling between the dopant atom and the SET island under the control of gate potentials, mainly the fourth gate.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2009Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Qucor Pty LimitedInventors: Andrea Morello, Andrew Dzurak, Hans-Gregor Huebl, Robert Graham Clark, Laurens Henry Willems Van Beveren, Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg, David Normal Jamieson, Christopher Escott

Patent number: 7479652Abstract: This invention concerns quantum computers in which the qubits are closed systems, in that the particle or particles are confined within the structure. A “site” can be produced by any method of confining an electron or other quantum particle, such as a dopant atom, a quantum dot, a cooper pair box, or any combination of these. In particular the invention concerns a closed three-site quantum particle system. The state in the third site is weakly coupled by coherent tunneling to the first and second states, so that the third state is able to map out the populations of the first and second states as its energy is scanned with respect to the first and second states. In second and third aspects it concerns a readout method for a closed three-state quantum particle system.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2004Date of Patent: January 20, 2009Assignee: Qucor Pty. Ltd.Inventors: Andrew D. Greentree, Alexander Rudolf Hamilton, Frederick Green, Lloyd Christopher Leonard Hollenberg
