High-Fidelity Two-Qubit Logic and Teleportation Achieved with Mobile Spin Qubits in Silicon
Researchers have demonstrated a significant breakthrough in quantum computing by performing high-fidelity two-qubit logic operations and quantum state teleportation using mobile spin qubits in silicon. Published in Nature, the study details a device architecture where electron spins are shuttled towards each other in separate travelling potential minima. By moving the spins 120 nm each for a total displacement of 240 nm, the team achieved an average two-qubit gate fidelity of approximately 99%. Furthermore, they successfully implemented conditional post-selected quantum state teleportation between qubits separated by 320 nm, achieving an average fidelity of 87%. This approach addresses critical scalability challenges by enabling dynamic, reconfigurable qubit connectivity, which allows for flexible error correction codes and optimized resource use. Unlike traditional fixed architectures limited to nearest-neighbor interactions, this mobile qubit system offers robust connectivity similar to trapped ion systems but within a solid-state semiconductor platform. The findings suggest that mobile spin qubits could become a universal feature in future large-scale semiconductor quantum processors, combining high coherence times with compatibility with established manufacturing techniques.
