*Abstract:*

SiGe nanostructures have emerged as a promising material for the realization of spin qubits [1]. In the past several years intense research has been devoted in studying QDs defined in SiGe 2DEGs [2] and P donors in Silicon [3]. Spin relaxation times of a few seconds and coherence times of close to a second have been reported [4]. On the other hand there are much less studies which have focused on holes and in particular confined in SiGe. In 2012, spin relaxation times in Ge/Si NW QDs were reported to be in the ms range [5] and just last year the dephasing time was reported to be more than one order of magnitude larger than that of III-V materials [6]. All these studies point out the importance of group-IV elements in the field of spin qubits.

In our group we study holes confined in Ge self-assembled nanostructures. In 2010 the first realisation of single-hole transistors based on individual SiGe dome islands was reported [8]. Transport spectroscopy revealed largely anisotropic hole g-factors. By changing the number of holes localized within the SiGe QDs a clear modulation of the g-factor was observed indicating that the g-factors are linked to the corresponding orbital wavefunctions. However, dual gate devices demonstrated that the g-factor of the same orbital wavefunction can be changed by more than 300% when changing the value of a perpendicular electric field while keeping a constant number of holes [9]. This result indicated that this material system might be interesting for performing spin manipulation by means of g-tensor modulation.

However in order to move towards the realization of spin qubits one needs to move away from single quantum dot devices; charge sensors and double quantum dots need to be realized. For achieving these two building blocks, we are aiming to use two different type of structures: a) self-organized Ge nanostructures, i.e. Ge islands grown on prepatterned Si [10] and b) one dimensional Ge nanowires, so called hut-wires [11,12]. Within this talk I will present the current status of research in these two directions.
