Funded Activity Summary

Topological superconductivity and spin electronics in silicon and germanium. This project will exploit recent breakthroughs in materials growth, theoretical physics and micromagnet technology to design and build a new platform for future quantum devices and topological quantum computers. Instead of using exotic materials, we will fabricate hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices with conventional silicon and germanium semiconductors, using the same nanofabrication techniques that industry uses to create integrated circuits. The outcome will be an entirely new approach to hosting topological modes, in an architecture that can be scaled to make topological based qubits, using industrially compatible semiconductors.
