Abstract

We model a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate mediated by exchange interactions in a realistic Ge/GeSi hole spin-qubit device. We use for that purpose a computationally efficient framework based on a compact dressed basis of many-body singlet and triplet states, which enables fast time-dependent simulations that would be prohibitive within a conventional configuration-interaction approach. We discuss the dominant sources of infidelity in ideal (noise-free) devices. On the one hand, the nonadiabaticity of the tunnel barrier ramps, enhanced by the transverse component of the exchange interaction, imposes limits on the speed of the CNOT gate. On the other hand, the AC Stark shift of the conditional resonance and the off-resonant driving of the complementary transition can significantly degrade the gate fidelity and call for a careful optimization of the driving conditions. Finally, we investigate the impact of quasi-static charge noise on the fidelity of the CNOT gate. We find that the capture of charges near the qubits can strongly disrupt the conditional operation, while the nanometer-scale motion of charges results in a loss of fidelity that sensitively depends on the position and strength of the corresponding dipole. Our results quantify the requirements on barrier control, microwave driving, and charge-noise stability for high-fidelity two-qubit operations in Ge/GeSi hole-spin qubits.

Electrically tunable Crossed Andreev Reflection in Bipolar Magnetic Semiconductors

Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is a nonlocal quantum transport phenomenon that arises at the interfaces between a superconductor and two spatially separated metals. In this process, an electron incident from one metal combines with another electron originating from the other metal to form a Cooper pair in the SC. In this work, we theoretically investigate the quantum transport properties of a device comprising a central $s$-wave superconductor sandwiched between two bipolar magnetic semiconductor (BMS) leads. BMS materials possess a unique bandstructure where the conduction and valence bands are fully spin-polarized in opposite directions. By applying independent gate voltages to the two BMS leads, we selectively tune their chemical potentials to configure an antiparallel spin alignment at the Fermi energy. In the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), this specific configuration perfectly suppresses both local Andreev reflection and direct electron tunneling (ET), thereby isolating and profoundly enhancing CAR. The introduction of Rashba SOC, however, induces spin-flip scattering that relaxes these strict selection constraints, yielding finite probabilities for competing scattering channels and subsequently reducing the overall CAR efficiency. Nevertheless, for SOC strengths below a critical threshold, CAR remains the dominant transport mechanism over ET. This proposed architecture provides a scalable, stray-field-free method to achieve purely electrostatic control over nonlocal transport, advancing the development of highly efficient superconducting spintronic devices.

Gaussian-Bond Hall Viscosity and Nonlocal Hall Response of a Sampled Landau Level

Hall viscosity on a lattice depends on how strain changes microscopic hopping amplitudes. For a specified Gaussian envelope, bond-length derivatives close on the undeformed hopping, expressing the stress as an embedded momentum Hessian and relating the viscosity to higher-order band geometry. In the Kapit--Mueller parent family at rational flux, we show that the stress response equals the strain curvature of the sampled-LLL Gram matrix. The density-normalized viscosity approaches the continuum value 1/4, with an exponentially small sampling correction at finite flux. By contrast, for a straight-bond Peierls source, a low-frequency mass, and a fixed-envelope susceptibility, the viscosity--conductivity comparison exhibits an algebraic deviation, whose leading coefficient follows from a weak-field expansion.

Laser-Induced 90-Degree Magnetization Switching for Single-Element 2D Sensing

Magnetoresistive sensors with multiaxial sensitivity are interesting for field mapping applications where local measurement of multiple magnetic field components is needed. Existing device designs are often discretized with separate sensing elements for each vector component, or they require complex detection schemes to distinguish the different components. In this work, we showcase a single-element two-dimensional vector sensor with on-demand reprogrammable sensing axis using light and optically switchable materials. Our device is an anisotropic magnetoresistive sensor with $90^\circ$ togglable sensitivity upon excitation with ultrashort laser pulses. The sensor consists of an optically switchable Co/Gd thin-film bilayer, patterned into a cross shape that stabilizes two orthogonal in-plane magnetization directions. By selectively addressing one diagonal of the cross, a single laser pulses toggle switches the magnetization direction in the center of the cross by $90^\circ$. Moreover, the field sensitivity of the device is toggled between the $x$- and $y$-axes, which we detected electrically with the planar Hall effect. Our results form a milestone towards optically reprogrammable integrated magnetic vector sensors.
