Automated gated quantum-dot 3D model generation and tuning for technology-computer aided design of realistic spin-qubit systems

Spin qubits—nanoscale quantum bits made in semiconductor materials—are a promising technology for building future quantum computers. They are highly miniaturized, can work at relatively higher temperatures than competing technologies, and can be made using standard industrial semiconductor-chip fabrication techniques, which makes them ideal for scaling up. However, traditional chip design software is not adequate for […]
