Few-hole double quantum dot in an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure

摘要

We demonstrate a hole double quantum dot in an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. The interdot coupling can be tuned over a wide range, from formation of a large single dot to two well-isolated quantum dots. Using charge sensing, we show the ability to completely empty the dot of holes and control the charge occupation in the few-hole regime. The device should allow for control of individual hole spins in single and double quantum dots in GaAs.
