We investigate quantum dots in semiconductor PbTe nanowire devices. Due to the accessibility of ambipolar transport in PbTe, quantum dots can be occupied both with electrons and holes. Owing to a very large dielectric constant in PbTe of order 1000, we do not observe Coulomb blockade which typically obfuscates the orbital and spin spectra. We extract large and highly anisotropic effective Landé g-factors, in the range 20-44. The absence of Coulomb blockade allows direct readout, at zero source…

Electrical control of single hole spins in nanowire quantum dots.

Gate-tunable hole quantum dots can be formed in InSb nanowires and used to demonstrate Pauli spin blockade and electrical control of single hole spins and allows the hyperfine interaction strengths, g-factors and spin blockade anisotropies to be compared directly in the two regimes.

A valley-spin qubit in a carbon nanotube.

A qubit encoded in two nanotube valley-spin states is realized, with coherent manipulation via electrically driven spin resonance mediated by a bend in the nanotubes, showing that, even with low nuclear spin abundance, coherence can be strongly degraded if the qubit states are coupled to electric fields.
