Coherent spin-spin coupling mediated by virtual microwave photons

We report the coherent coupling of two electron spins at a distance via virtual microwave photons. Each spin is trapped in a silicon double quantum dot at either end of a superconducting resonator, achieving spin-photon couplings up to around gs/2π = 40 MHz. As the two spins are brought into resonance with each other, but detuned from the...

Rapid gate-based spin read-out in silicon using an on-chip resonator

Silicon spin qubits are one of the leading platforms for quantum computation1,2. As with any qubit implementation, a crucial requirement is the ability to measure individual quantum states rapidly and with high fidelity. Since the signal from a single electron spin is minute, the different spin states are converted to different charge states3,4....

Embedding silicon spin qubits in superconducting circuits

We demonstrate the strong coupling between a single electron spin in silicon and a single photon in a superconducting microwave cavity. Using the same cavity we perform rapid high-fidelity single-shot readout of two-electron spin states.

Reprint of "food-grade electrospinning of proteins"

Developing non-meat food products with an appealing structure is a challenge. In this study, we investigate the possibility to produce thin fibrils as building blocks for texturally interesting meat replacers. The technique applied is electrospinning - a technique which produces thin fibrils with a high aspect ratio. The spinning of proteins is...
