Fig. 4. Layout and operation of the manipulation zone.
a 3D visualization of the manipulation zone consisting of two joined QuBus elements and two micromagnets. Shown is an exemplary two-qubit operation. b Cross-section including the gate layout showing the required magnetic field gradients for single- and two-qubit gates along the manipulation zone. The orange circle shows the position of the qubit during the single-qubit gate operation and is driven periodically in the region of a large perpendicular magnetic field gradient ∣∂xB⊥∣. The red and blue circles indicate the positions of the qubits during the two-qubit gate operations, respectively. Both are pushed together at the location of a large parallel magnetic field gradient ∣∂xB∥∣. c Potential line cuts showing the smooth formation of a tunnel-coupled double quantum dot potential appropriate for two-qubit operations as the two translated quantum dots approach the center of the manipulation zone. The color-coded bars correspond to the gates from panels a and b, and their vertical positions indicate the applied voltage Vi.
