Abstract
We report an experimental study of a 1D quintuple-quantum-dot array integrated with two charge sensors in an InAs nanowire. The device is studied by measuring double quantum dots formed consecutively in the array, and corresponding charge stability diagrams are revealed with both direct current measurements and charge sensor signals. The one-dimensional quintuple-quantum-dot array is then tuned up, and its charge configurations are fully mapped out with the two charge sensors. The energy level of each dot in the array can be controlled individually using virtual gates. After that, four dots in the array are selected to form two double quantum dots, and ultrastrong inter-double-dot interaction is obtained. A theoretical simulation confirms the strong coupling strength between the two double quantum dots. The highly controllable one-dimensional quantum dot array is expected to be valuable for employing InAs nanowires to construct advanced quantum hardware in the future.
