Measuring hole spin states of single quantum dot in germanium hut wire

Abstract

As a group IV material with confined holes, the germanium hut wire is considered a promising candidate for achieving fast electrically controlled spin qubits. Here we fabricated a single quantum dot device on a germanium hut wire and a standard charge stability diagram with excited states was observed by DC transport measurements. By analyzing the Zeeman splitting behaviors of each state, we chose a window for distinguishing different hole parities and spin states, launching the first step towards a useful spin qubit. Effective g-factors around 4.3 for both even and odd hole number states were also extracted.
