Description
Advances in fabrication and quantum control methods are leading to gate-controlled nanoscale devices becoming progressively more complex, yet affording more and more exquisite local control over gate potentials. Automated solutions for tuning and characterisation are also advancing, as the parameter space of these complex devices are quickly becoming too large to manually investigate. In this talk, I will present our efforts to harness these two complementary advances, to impact the fields of quantum information as well as fundamental condensed matter physics. Hardware and software techniques working in concert assist us to find operation points in spin qubit arrays, as well as to read them out; subsequently, these techniques are also applied to mesoscopic regimes such as quantum Hall systems. Our results propose a path towards the application of algorithmic techniques to fundamental problems in the solid state.
