Quantum-coherent Science on a Solid Surface using Bottom-up Approach

Soo-hyon Phark | Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS)

Atom-by-atom addressability using a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM)[1] enables bottom up design of functional quantum devices. Furthermore, recent advance of a STM equipped with electron spin resonance (ESR) allows an atomic scale characterization of quantum states of individual spins on surface with an energy resolution down to nano electron volt.[2,3]

In this talk, I aim at an introduction to coherent quantum platforms crafted atom-by-atom on solid surfaces using an STM-ESR: First, utilization of single spins for sensing quantum objects with an atomic precision and a 10 neV energy resolution.[4]

Second, coherent multi-qubit systems using tailored spin nano structures on a surface, driven and read out in an all-electrical fashion.[5,6]

Third, atomic scale benchmarking of quantum electrodynamics and quantum thermodynamics using coupled spin qubits.[7] A survey on challenges in hand and outlook of this noble quantum platform will be followed.[8]
