Isotopic purification has enabled quantum coherence times on the order of seconds, thereby placing silicon at the forefront of efforts to create a solid state quantum processor. We demonstrate strong coupling of a single electron in a silicon double quantum dot to the photonic field of a microwave cavity, as shown by the observation of vacuum Rabi splitting. Strong coupling of a quantum dot electron to a cavity photon would allow for long-range qubit coupling and the long-range entanglement of electrons in semiconductor quantum dots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-03-08T21:50:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single electron", "strong coupling", "microwave photon", "solid state quantum processor", "silicon double quantum dot" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AAAS" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
