Pauli Spin Blockade — Quantum Dot Qubit Spin Readout

Interactive double-quantum-dot simulator: prepare a two-electron spin state (singlet or triplet), pulse the interdot detuning, and watch Pauli spin blockade convert the spin state into a charge-sensor readout — the actual mechanism used to read out real spin qubits.

A double quantum dot traps two electrons, one per dot. Prepare their joint spin state as a singlet or one of three triplets, then fire a readout pulse: the simulator sweeps the interdot detuning toward the (0,2) charge configuration where both electrons would share one dot. Pauli exclusion only allows the spin-antisymmetric singlet to make that move — every triplet is Pauli-blocked and stays put — so a capacitively-coupled charge sensor reading the dots' electron count becomes a real, if imperfect, single-shot spin readout. Tunnel coupling, pulse duration and a spin-orbit/hyperfine leakage rate are all adjustable, and a running fidelity counter shows how leakage caps real-world readout accuracy — exactly the trade-offs behind singlet-triplet spin-qubit readout in real quantum-dot devices.

⚙ Under the hood

Prepare a two-electron singlet or triplet spin state in a double quantum dot, pulse the interdot detuning, and watch Pauli exclusion convert the invisible spin state into a charge-sensor signal — the real Pauli spin blockade readout mechanism used in singlet-triplet spin qubits.
