	It is becoming increasingly apparent that qubits based on individual electron spins in Si have considerable potential for scalable quantum information processing. One of the attractions of a spin in Si is its long decoherence time. The tunable spin-orbital coupling and the ability to control the electron wavefunctions allow gate operations on the spins. The extensive collection of Si chipmaking techniques, cumulated over decades, is expected to be invaluable for developing scalable qubits. The physical implementation of Si based quantum dot devices and the control of the individual spins have proven to be extremely challenging. However, sustained research and development efforts have made remarkable progress in the last few years. The REU student will join the postdocs and graduate students in the group to fabricate and characterize a Si qubit that is based spin exchange interactions.
