Progress towards microwave readout of a silicon double quantum dot*

Microwave resonators coupled to quantum systems have been used for fast dispersive measurement in several different architectures in solid state and atomic physics. The electronic states of a semiconductor quantum dot represent a promising candidate for quantum information processing. Our work is geared toward developing a fast, non-demolition readout of a semiconductor qubit in silicon through coupling to a superconducting microwave resonator. We report progress on a novel design of a lateral
