Scalable solid-state quantum computers will require integration with analog and digital electronics. Efficiently simulating the quantum-classical electronic interface is hence of paramount importance. Here, we present Verilog-A compact models with a focus on quantum-dot-based systems, relevant to semiconductor- and Majorana-based quantum computing. Our models are capable of faithfully reproducing coherent quantum behavior and decoherence effects within a standard electronic circuit simulator, enabling compromise-free co-simulation of hybrid quantum devices. In particular, we present results from co-simulations performed in Cadence Spectre®, showcasing coherent quantum phenomena in circuits with both quantum and classical components using an industry-standard electronic design and automation tool. Our work paves the way for a new paradigm in the design of quantum systems, which leverages the many decades of development of electronic computer-aided design and automation tools in the semiconductor industry to now simulate and optimize quantum processing units, quantum-classical interfaces, and hybrid quantum-analog circuits.

Quantum error correction (QEC) is essential for protecting quantum information against noise, yet understanding the structure of the Knill-Laflamme (KL) coefficients (left{{lambda }_{ij}right}) from the condition (P{E}_{i}^{dagger }{E}_{j}P={lambda }_{ij}P) remains challenging, particularly for nonadditive codes. In this work, we introduce the signature vector (overrightarrow{lambda }(P)), composed of the off-diagonal KL coefficients (left{{lambda }_{ij}right}), where each coefficient corresponds to equivalence classes of errors counted only once. We define its Euclidean norm λ*(P) as a scalar measure representing the total strength of error correlations within the code subspace defined by the projector P. We parameterize P on a Stiefel manifold and formulate an optimization problem based on the KL conditions to systematically explore possible values of λ*. Moreover, we show that, for ((n, K, d)) codes, λ* is invariant under local unitary transformations. Applying our approach to the ((6, 2, 3)) quantum code, we find that ({lambda }_{min }^{* }=sqrt{0.6}) and ({lambda }_{max }^{* }=1), with λ* = 1 corresponding to a known degenerate stabilizer code. We construct continuous families of new nonadditive codes parameterized by vectors in ({{mathbb{R}}}^{5}), with λ* varying over the interval ([sqrt{0.6},1]). For the ((7, 2, 3)) code, we identify ({lambda }_{min }^{* }=0) (corresponding to the non-degenerate Steane code) and ({lambda }_{max }^{* }=sqrt{7}) (corresponding to the permutation-invariant code by Pollatsek and Ruskai), and we demonstrate continuous paths connecting these extremes via cyclic codes characterized solely by λ*. Our findings provide new insights into the structure of quantum codes, advance the theoretical foundations of QEC, and open new avenues for investigating intricate relationships between code subspaces and error correlations.

We measure and analyze noise-induced energy-fluctuations of spin qubits defined in quantum dots made of isotopically natural silicon. Combining Ramsey, time-correlation of single-shot measurements, and CPMG experiments, we cover the qubit noise power spectrum over a frequency range of nine orders of magnitude without any gaps. We find that the low-frequency noise spectrum is similar across three different devices suggesting that it is dominated by the hyperfine coupling to nuclei. The effects of charge noise are smaller, but not negligible, and are device dependent as confirmed from the noise cross-correlations. We also observe differences to spectra reported in GaAs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 177702 (2017), Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 236803 (2008)], which we attribute to the presence of the valley degree of freedom in silicon. Finally, we observe ({T}_{2}^{* }) to increase upon increasing the external magnetic field, which we speculate is due to the increasing field gradient of the micromagnet suppressing nuclear spin diffusion.
我们测量和分析了由同位素天然硅制成的量子点中定义的自旋量子比特的噪声诱导能量波动。结合Ramsey、单次测量的时间相关性和CPMG实验，我们在9个数量级的频率范围内覆盖了量子比特噪声功率谱，没有任何间隙。我们发现低频噪声谱在三种不同的器件上是相似的，这表明它是由与原子核的超精细耦合主导的。电荷噪声的影响较小，但不可忽略，并且从噪声相互关系中证实是器件相关的。我们还观察到与GaAs [Phys]中报道的光谱的差异。Rev. Lett. 118,177702 (2017), Phys。Rev. Lett. 101, 236803(2008)]，我们将其归因于硅中谷自由度的存在。最后，我们观察到({T}_{2}^{* })随着外磁场的增大而增大，我们推测这是由于微磁体的场梯度增大抑制了核自旋扩散。

Advances in hybrid quantum systems and their precise control are pivotal for developing advanced quantum technologies. Two-dimensional (2D) materials with optically accessible spin defects have emerged as a promising platform for building integrated quantum spin systems due to their exceptional flexibility and scalability. However, experimentally realizing such systems and demonstrating their superiority remains challenging. Here, we present a hybrid spin system operating under ambient conditions, integrating boron vacancy ( $${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$VB− ) spins in 2D hexagonal boron nitride flakes with a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in 3D single-crystal diamonds. This combined system achieves full controllability and exhibits enhanced performance for nanoscale magnetic sensing, including an improved dynamic range. Moreover, we investigate the rich many-body spin dynamics within the hybrid system, which enables us to estimate the concentration of $${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$VB− spins. This work provides a critical foundation for advancing the development of 2D-3D integrated quantum spin systems.
混合量子系统及其精确控制的进展是发展先进量子技术的关键。由于具有优异的灵活性和可扩展性，具有光学可访问自旋缺陷的二维（2D）材料已成为构建集成量子自旋系统的有前途的平台。然而，通过实验实现这样的系统并证明其优越性仍然具有挑战性。在这里，我们提出了一个在环境条件下运行的混合自旋系统，将二维六方氮化硼片中的硼空位（$${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B−）自旋与三维单晶金刚石中的单氮空位（NV）中心集成在一起。该组合系统实现了完全可控性，并表现出纳米级磁传感的增强性能，包括改进的动态范围。此外，我们研究了混合系统内的多体自旋动力学，这使我们能够估计$${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B−自旋的浓度。这项工作为推进2D-3D集成量子自旋系统的发展提供了重要的基础。

We report on the fault-tolerant operation of logical qubits on a neutral atom quantum computer, with logical performance surpassing physical performance for multiple circuits including Bell state preparation (12x error reduction), random circuits (15x), and a prototype Anderson Impurity Model ground state solver for materials science applications (up to 6x, non-fault-tolerantly). The logical qubits are implemented via the [[4, 2, 2]] code (C 4 ). Our work constitutes the first complete realization of the benchmarking protocol proposed by Gottesman 2016 demonstrating results consistent with fault tolerance. In light of recent advances on applying concatenated C 4 /C 6 detection codes to achieve error correction with high code rates and thresholds, our work can be regarded as a building block towards a practical scheme for fault tolerant quantum computation. Our demonstration of a materials science application with logical qubits particularly demonstrates the immediate value of these techniques on current experiments.

Solid-state qubits are sensitive to their microscopic environment, causing the qubit properties to fluctuate on a wide range of timescales. The sub-Hz end of the spectrum is usually dealt with by repeated background calibrations, which bring considerable overhead. It is thus important to characterize and understand the low-frequency variations of the relevant qubit characteristics. In this study, we investigate the stability of spin qubit frequencies in the Si/SiGe quantum dot platform. We find that the calibrated qubit frequencies of a six-qubit device vary by up to ±100 MHz while performing a variety of experiments over a span of 912 days. These variations are sensitive to the precise voltage settings of the gate electrodes, however when these are kept constant to within 15 µ V, the qubit frequencies vary by less than ±7 MHz over periods up to 36 days. During overnight scans, the qubit frequencies of ten qubits across two different devices show a standard deviation below 200 kHz within a 1-hour time window. The qubit frequency noise spectral density shows roughly a 1 /f trend above 10 −4 Hz and, strikingly, a steeper trend at even lower frequencies.

Connecting multiple smaller qubit modules by generating high-fidelity entanglement is a promising path for scaling quantum computing hardware. The performance of such a modular quantum computer depends on the quality and rate of entanglement generation. However, identifying optimal architectures and entanglement generation protocols remains an open question. How can modular quantum architectures be designed to achieve fault tolerance while requiring only feasible entanglement rates and hardware? Focusing on solid-state quantum hardware, we investigate the threshold and logical failure rate of a fully distributed surface code. We consider both emission-based and scattering-based entanglement schemes between the modules to link the performance to the physical hardware and identify the regime for fault tolerance. We compare architectures with one or two data qubits per module. For some entanglement schemes, thresholds nearing the thresholds of non-distributed implementations (~ 0.4%) appear feasible with future parameters minimizing the performance gap between modular and monolithic quantum processors.

For some entanglement schemes, thresholds nearing the thresholds of non-distributed implementations (~ 0.4%) appear feasible with future parameters minimizing the performance gap between modular and monolithic quantum processors.","PeriodicalId":19212,"journal":{"name":"npj Quantum Information","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145664771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
