The two-electron triplet state in a self-assembled quantum dot can form a spin qubit with the singlet ground state. It is electrically adressable and therefore of interest for quantum information processing. This requires a long coherence time T2, which is limited by the spin relaxation time T1. While T1 has already been investigated by optical measurments, we present our all-electrical measurment approach.
We embedded a layer of InAs/GaAs QDs in an inverted high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) to selectively charge and discharge the QD states with electrons from a tunnel-coupled electron reservoir (2DEG). The 2DEG acts as a sensitive detector for the charge in the QD layer. By using time-resolved transconductance spectroscopy [1] and altering the charging times we can observe the relaxation from the triplet excited state to the singlet ground state. We extract the relaxation time T1 by applying a rate equation model. While there are already first results for T1 [2], ongoing questions of interest are its dependency of the strength and orientation of an external magnetic field.
