Abstract: Electron spins in silicon quantum dots make excellent qubits because they are scalable and coherent. They have footprints that are only tens of nanometers on a side, and their coherence times can exceed seconds in purified semiconductors. In this presentation, I will discuss how to make and operate spin qubits. I will emphasize recent results from my group and others that demonstrate excellent performance in multi-qubit devices, highlighting their potential for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computing. I will also argue that electrons in semiconductors offer a unique set of tools to study how quantum systems interact with their environments. Using electrons in quantum dots, we can measure, control, and turn environments into resources.
