Abstract

Quantum computing in materials such as silicon would simplify integration with existing electronic components; however, the coherence times of such qubits, especially at room temperature, are affected by the interaction with the busy environment of a solid. Eliminating isotopic impurities from the host material improves coherence times, as observed for qubits, based on the nuclear spin of neutral P donors in Si. Saeedi et al. (p. 830) modified this system by using charged P donors instead of neutral ones; by manipulating the states of the donors optically and using dynamical decoupling, the coherence time of the qubits was extended to 3 hours at cryogenic temperatures and 39 minutes at room temperature.
