Abstract

The presence of low-lying valley states in Si may hinder the development of large-scale spin-based quantum processors. Rapid prototyping of novel Si/SiGe heterostructures and gate stacks will be central to identifying pathways that increase the valley splitting. We compare the performance of pulsed-gate spectroscopy (PGS) and detuning axis spectroscopy (DAPS) at temperatures up to 700 mK. We find that DAPS outperforms PGS, with DAPS resolving valley splittings as small as ~86 $\mu$eV, while the energy resolution of PGS is only 210$\mu$eV. Our work demonstrates that DAPS can be used to efficiently extract valley splittings at elevated temperatures in high throughput cryostats.
