Donor- or acceptor-based spin qubits with isotopically purified materials

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe use of isotopically purified materials in donor- or acceptor-based spin qubit devices and assemblies. An exemplary spin qubit device assembly may include a semiconductor host layer that includes an isotopically purified material, a dopant atom in the semiconductor host layer, and a gate proximate to the dopant atom. An isotopically purified material may include a lower atomic-percent of isotopes with nonzero nuclear spin than the natural abundance of those isotopies in the non-isotopically purified material. Reducing the presence of isotopes with nonzero nuclear spin in a semiconductor host layer may improve qubit coherence and thus performance of spin qubit devices and assemblies.
