Path integral simulation of exchange interactions in CMOS spin qubits
The boom of semiconductor quantum computing platforms created a demand for
computer-aided design and fabrication of quantum devices. Path integral Monte
Carlo (PIMC) can have an important role in this effort because it intrinsically
integrates strong quantum correlations that often appear in these
multi-electron systems. In this paper we present a PIMC algorithm that
estimates exchange interactions of three-dimensional electrically defined
quantum dots. We apply this model to silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS)
devices and we benchmark our method against well-tested full configuration
interaction (FCI) simulations. As an application, we study the impact of a
single charge trap on two exchanging dots, opening the possibility of using
this code to test the tolerance to disorder of CMOS devices. This algorithm
provides an accurate description of this system, setting up an initial step to
integrate PIMC algorithms into development of semiconductor quantum computers.Comment: 10 pages , 5 figure
