Abstract

Disclosed herein are quantum dot devices, as well as related computing devices and methods. For example, in some embodiments, a quantum dot device may include: a quantum well stack; a first gate and an adjacent second gate above the quantum well stack; and a gate wall between the first gate and the second gate, wherein the gate wall includes a first dielectric material and a second dielectric material different from the first dielectric material.
