Grant Description

In the realm of quantum information technology (QIT), scalable qubit platforms with long coherence times and high-fidelity gates are

essential for achieving quantum computational power. The project 'QUIQ' aims to explore the potential of double quantum dot

(DQD) qubits controlled at attosecond timescales by combining QD quantum information process modeling expertise with the

attosecond physics expertise of the attosecond quantum physics group at King's College London (KCL). By operating DQD qubits at

attosecond timescales, we can significantly reduce processing time and enhance performance in ultrafast QIT. The project focuses on

studying the coherence of DQD qubits through the implementation of Rabi oscillations triggered by ultrafast laser fields. We aim to

realize atto-qgates, representing the first attosecond quantum gates. The achievement of basic atto-qgates, including Pauli X, Y, Z, and Hadamard gates, will provide a crucial stepping stone towards future attosecond quantum operations on DQD qubits.

Furthermore, we will investigate quantum circuit design and develop quantum error correction techniques to minimize errors in the

DQD qubit platform. The project combines theoretical investigations with the experimental capabilities of the KCL host group to

optimize system parameters, improve coherence times, and enhance control over the proposed DQD qubit platform. Additionally, we

will investigate quantum resources, such as entanglement and discord-like correlations, in bipartite DQD qubits. By proposing the use

of the quantum path interferometric technique based on High Harmonic Generation (HHG) for atto-qgate readout, this project

bridges the fields of attosecond physics and quantum technology, enabling significant advancements in attosecond quantum information processing.
