Realization and characterization of minimal Kitaev chain in CoSi2/Si-based Cooper pair splitter

Description of the granted funding

Energy-efficient computers with large computing power are necessary for accelerating research and development in various sectors. Superconducting transistors have potential to realize classical computers with low power consumption and high switching speed. On the other hand, topologically protected qubits with their inherent resilience to environmental noise offer great promise for realizing robust quantum computers. Incorporating topological qubits into silicon (Si) will ensure compatibility with the existing manufacturing processes, ensuring quick and widespread acceptance of such technology. This project aims to implement Si-based building blocks for superconducting transistors and to develop a new platform for topologically protected qubits.
