A process for fabricating an electronic component incorporating double quantum dots and split gates includes providing a substrate surmounted with a stack of a semiconductor layer and of a dielectric layer that is formed above the semiconductor layer. The process also includes forming a mask on the dielectric layer and etching the dielectric layer and the semiconductor layer with the pattern of the mask, so as to form a stack of a semiconductor nanowire and of a dielectric hard mask. Finally, the process includes depositing a gate material on all of the wafer and carrying out a planarization, until the dielectric hard mask is reached, so as to form first and second gates that are electrically insulated from each other on either side of said nanowire.

An apparatus is provided which comprises: a first stack comprising a magnetic insulating material (MI such as, EuS, EuO, YIG, TmIG, or GaMnAs) and a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD such as MoS.sub.2, MoSe.sub.2, WS.sub.2, WSe.sub.2, PtS.sub.2, PtSe.sub.2, WTe.sub.2, MoTe.sub.2, or graphene; a second stack comprising an MI material and a TMD, wherein the first and second stacks are separated by an insulating material (e.g., oxide); a magnet (e.g., a ferromagnet or a paramagnet) adjacent to the TMDs of the first and second stacks, and also adjacent to the insulating material; and a magnetoelectric material (e.g., (LaBi)FeO.sub.3, LuFeO.sub.3, PMN-PT, PZT, AlN, or (SmBi)FeO.sub.3) adjacent to the magnet.

A novel and useful quantum computing machine architecture that includes a classic computing core as well as a quantum computing core. A programmable pattern generator executes sequences of instructions that control the quantum core. In accordance with the sequences, a pulse generator functions to generate the control signals that are input to the quantum core to perform quantum operations. A partial readout of the quantum state in the quantum core is generated that is subsequently re-injected back into the quantum core to extend decoherence time. Access gates control movement of quantum particles in the quantum core. Errors are corrected from the partial readout before being re-injected back into the quantum core. Internal and external calibration loops calculate error syndromes and calibrate the control pulses input to the quantum core. Control of the quantum core is provided from an external support unit via the pattern generator or can be retrieved from classic memory where sequences of commands for the quantum core are stored a priori in the memory. A cryostat unit functions to provide several temperatures to the quantum machine including a temperature to cool the quantum computing core to approximately 4 Kelvin.

A process for fabricating an electronic component with multiple quantum dots is provided, including providing a stack including a substrate, a nanostructure made of semiconductor material superposed over the substrate and including first and second quantum dots and a link linking the quantum dots, first and second control gate stacks arranged on the quantum dots, the gate stacks separated by a gap, the quantum dots and the link having a same thickness; partially thinning the link while using the gate stacks as masks to obtain the link, a thickness of which is less than that of the quantum dots; and conformally forming a dielectric layer on either side of the gate stacks so as to fill the gap above the partially thinned link. An electronic component with multiple quantum dots is also provided.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe a method of fabricating spin qubit device assemblies that utilize dopant-based spin qubits, i.e. spin qubit devices which operate by including a donor or an acceptor dopant atom in a semiconductor host layer. The method includes, first, providing a pair of gate electrodes over a semiconductor host layer, and then providing a window structure between the first and second gate electrodes, the window structure being a continuous solid material extending between the first and second electrodes and covering the semiconductor host layer except for an opening through which a dopant atom is to be implanted in the semiconductor host layer. By using a defined gate-first process, the method may address the scalability challenges and create a deterministic path for fabricating dopant-based spin qubits in desired locations, promoting wafer-scale integration of dopant-based spin qubit devices for use in quantum computing devices.

An AND or OR logic device has multiple layers of ferromagnetic material separated from each other by non-magnetic layers of electrically conductive material of atomic thickness, sufficient to generate anti-magnetic response in a magnetized layer.

A method of fabricating a device, comprising forming portions of electronic circuitry and a shadow wall structure over a substrate, and subsequently depositing a conducting layer over the substrate by angled deposition of a conducting material in at least a first deposition direction at an acute angle relative to the plane of the substrate. The shadow wall structure is arranged to cast a shadow in the deposition, leaving areas where the conducting material is not deposited. The shadow wall structure comprises one or more gaps each shorter than a shadow length of a respective part of the shadow wall structure casting the shadow into the gap, to prevent the conducting material forming in the gaps and to thereby create regions of said upper conducting layer that are electrically isolated from one another. These are arranged to form conducting elements for applying signals to, and/or receiving signals from, the electronic circuitry.
