Abstract

Electrons trapped on solid neon surfaces serve as low-noise charge qubits with long coherence times and high operational fidelities. Such charge qubits offer full electrical control and compact device footprints, convenient for scaling up with quantum circuits. Realizing two-qubit gates on this platform is a critical step towards practical quantum information processing. In this work, we report the first experimental demonstration of coherent manipulation of multiple interacting electron-on-solid-neon (eNe) charge qubits. By exploiting the electrons naturally confined in close proximity by the surface structures of solid neon, we have achieved a direct qubit-qubit coupling strength of up to 62.5 MHz, as well as implemented cross-resonance (CR) and bSWAP two-qubit gates using global microwave drives. The natural electron confinement by solid neon mitigates the high-density-wiring challenge, simplifies the multi-qubit control, and establishes a unique path to scale up the eNe qubit platform.
