QUANTUM COMPUTATION

Hole spin qubits work at mT magnetic fields

Nature Materials volume 20, pages 1047–1048 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

A singlet-triplet hole spin qubit in a Ge quantum well is demonstrated to be fast, coherent, and compatible with operation at magnetic fields below 10 mT, opening the door to integration with superconducting technologies.
