Electron spins confined in silicon quantum dots are promising candidates for large-scale quantum computers. However, the degeneracy of the conduction band of bulk silicon introduces additional levels dangerously close to the window of computational energies, where the quantum information can leak. The energy of the valley states -- typically 0.1 meV -- depends on hardly controllable atomistic disorder and still constitutes a fundamental limit to the scalability of these architectures. In this…

It is demonstrated that valley separation can be accurately tuned via electrostatic gate control in a metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum dot, providing splittings spanning 0.3-0.8 meV, with a ratio in agreement with atomistic tight-binding predictions.

This work indicates that a spin-based quantum computer could be operated at increased temperatures in a simple pumped 4 He system (which provides cooling power orders of magnitude higher than that of dilution refrigerators), thus potentially enabling the integration of classical control electronics with the qubit array.
