"Network architecture for a topological quantum computer in silicon" has been published in IOP's Quantum Science and Technology journal. We introduce a design for a large-scale surface code quantum processor based on a node/network approach for semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits.
Prof. Baugh received a Research Leader Award from the Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology on June 5, 2018. At left is WIN Executive Director Sushantra Mitra, and at right is VP Research Charmaine Dean.
Prof. Baugh explains how nanoelectronics devices like quantum dots can serve as platforms for scalable quantum information processors to visiting high school student Cassia Attard. (May 1, 2018)
Our $2.7 million project with Defence Research and Development Canada was announced on Thursday, April 12 by Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Small Business and Tourism and our local Waterloo MP, at a press conference hosted at RAC. It is a collaborative project, headed by Jonathan Baugh, with co-PI's Prof. Michael Reimer and Prof. Zbig Wasilewski. Dr. Francois Sfigakis is the project manager. He is a Research Assistant Professor (Chemistry) working in Baugh's group.
Professor Baugh and the Coherent Spintronics lab were featured recently in an article and video as part of IQC's Annual Report.
Prof. Baugh attended the OCE Discovery technology fair on May 9 in Toronto, and presented his work on "Nanowire-based infrared photodetectors" to the global Chief Technology Officer of Lockheed Martin, Dr. Keoki Jackson (far left in photo). The work is in collaboration with Prof. Ray LaPierre of McMaster University (far right in photo), and from our group involves Eduardo Barrera and Greg Holloway.
Sean Walker won the first place poster prize at the Guelph-Waterloo Chemistry annual meeting last week (April 2016). His poster was titled: "Deposition of functionalized molecular nanomagnets on graphene" 2016AwardsPoster
Eduardo Barrera obtained an Ontario Graduate Scholarship for 2016-2017.
Congrats to both!
Greg Holloway made this really cool video demonstrating the placement of a semiconductor nanowire using our recently home-built micromanipulator tool. This improves dramatically upon the previous method of mechanically depositing many wires randomly on a pre-patterned device substrate, and opens up new possibilities for quantum device fabrication. Nice work Greg!
Our new paper on Kyle Willick's research, "Sensitive magnetic force detection with a carbon nanotube resonator", has just appeared in the Journal of Applied Physics (link).
Prof. Baugh attended the NMR QIP conference in Rio de Janeiro this November. His presentation on qubit noise spectroscopy can be found here.
Dr. Chris Haapamaki and Greg Holloway attended the Materials Research Society Fall meeting in Boston this December. Chris presented a talk entitled 'Evaluation of InAs/InAlAs Core-Shell Nanowire Interface Quality'.
