A Mobile Room-Temperature SiC Quantum Computing Demonstrator Based on Single Electron Spins

Speaker: Matthias Widman, Advanced Quantum (a spin-off from the 3rd Institute of Physics at the University of Stuttgart, Germany)

Chair: Stefania Castelletto, RMIT, Australia

Silicon Carbide (SiC) has gained increasing attention as a promising material system for quantum technologies due to its favorable electronic properties, industrial compatibility, and the availability of stable spin-active defects operable at room temperature. In this talk, I will present a mobile quantum computing demonstrator based on single electron spin qubits in SiC. Primarily intended as a hands-on tool for academic and teaching environments, the demonstrator facilitates direct interaction with quantum control techniques, device physics, and material science fundamentals. Its portability and room-temperature operation make it particularly suitable for classroom use, workshops, and outreach, where complex infrastructure is often unavailable. Despite its educational framing and limited qubit count, the platform reflects key challenges and opportunities relevant to future scalable quantum systems: signal fidelity, control robustness, integration with conventional electronics, and fabrication scalability. The talk will outline how this compact system, spanning the full development pipeline from defect engineering to device packaging, can help identify and optimize critical parameters for future industrial deployment of SiC-based quantum devices.
