Program Manager:

Assoc. Prof. Lloyd C.L. Hollenberg

Aims:

The device modelling program encompasses a number of theoretical research areas linking fundamental quantum information theory with experimentally realisable devices based on quantum donor structures in the solid-state.

Research Topics:

Algorithm implementation, quantum error correction, architecure design

Modelling of buried donor based qubit systems, and their control

Simulation of single and coupled qubit gate operations

Decoherence and fidelity of gate operations

Modeling of single electron transistor operation in readout processes

TCAD simulations of control structures coupled to the quantum description of qubit systems

Quantum Cellular Automata using buried dopant atoms in silicon

Device modelling: TCAD gate structures, computation of qubit exchange coupling and sensitivity to donor placement and gate bias, effective P-donor potentials determined from large-scale atomistic calculations.

Quantum algorithm implementation & simulations: quantum error correction threshold on linear nearest neighbour qubit arrays with environmental errors. Simulations are also carried out on complex algorithms such as Shor's factoring algorithm

Large basis computation of the donor electron wave function: Coulombic potential ((001) plane), including central-cell correction showing the reduction of the effective Bohr radius, comparison of omputed donor level spectrum with experiment
