Abstract

Spin resolved edge states are ideal candidates for the implementation of dual-rail quantum computation architectures by encoding the qubit in the spin degree of freedom of the co-propagating edge states. An important element for the realization of such architectures is a coherent beam splitter that controllably mixes the two co-propagating spin-resolved edge channels. Coupling of the spin resolved edge states is demonstrated recently by spin-flip scattering event that is induced by in-plane spatially-dependent periodic magnetic field of the nano-magnet array placed at the boundary of the mesa. In this paper we discuss the nanofabrication and our preliminary transport analysis of an electronic interferometer device made of two nano-magnetic arrays placed in close proximity. The impact of temperature in the coherent properties of the devices is addressed.
