Charge and Spin State Readout of a Double Quantum Dot Coupled to a Resonator

State readout is a key requirement for a quantum computer. For semiconductor-based qubit devices it is usually accomplished using a separate mesoscopic electrometer. Here we demonstrate a simple detection scheme in which a radio frequency resonant circuit coupled to a semiconductor double quantum dot is used to probe its charge and spin states. These results demonstrate a new noninvasive technique for measuring charge and spin states in quantum dot systems without requiring a separate mesoscopic detector.
