Development of low-defect-density materials for the fabrication of quantum devices
Quantum computing can revolutionize secure communications and advanced computing, but current devices suffer from noise and instability caused by fabrication defects. This project aims to improve silicon and germanium spin qubits by developing advanced surface passivation, optimizing dielectric stacks, and engineering high-quality Ge/SiGe heterostructures.
Research will involve thin-film deposition, interface characterization, and electrical testing using cutting-edge facilities at Université de Sherbrooke. By reducing defect density and enhancing qubit fidelity, the project will enable scalable quantum processors.
The work strengthens Canada’s leadership in quantum technologies and fosters collaboration with Université Gustave Eiffel. These advancements have transformative potential for cybersecurity, information technology, and energy-efficient electronics.
