Spin readout of trapped electron qubits

Quantum Physics 2017-01-18 v1

Abstract

We propose a scheme to read out the spin of a single electron quantum bit in a surface Paul trap using oscillating magnetic field gradients. The readout sequence is composed of cooling, driving, amplification and detection of the electron's motion. We study the scheme in the presence of noise and trap anharmonicities at liquid helium temperatures. An analysis of the the four procedures shows short measurement times (25 μ25~\mus) and high fidelities (99.7%99.7\%) are achievable with realistic experimental parameters. Our scheme performs the function of fluorescence detection in ion trapping schemes, highlighting the potential to built all-electric quantum computers based on trapped electron spin qubits.
