Author(s): J. C. Abadillo-Uriel, Brandur Thorgrimsson, Dohun Kim, L. W. Smith, C. B. Simmons, Daniel R. Ward, Ryan H. Foote, J. Corrigan, D. E. Savage, M. G. Lagally, M. J. Calderón, S. N. Coppersmith, M. A. Eriksson, and Mark Friesen Valley splitting affects the energy dispersion of silicon quantum dot qubits, and occasionally manifests itself through some striking features. Here, the authors observe a strong correlation between unexpected “sweet spots” and “hot spots” in the coherence rates of a quantum-dot hybrid qubit and in some anomalous features in the energy dispersion. Through tight-binding simulations, they are able to attribute such effects to disorder at the quantum-well interface and speculate on the possibility of harnessing disorder to enhance qubit coherence times.
